Cast these a while back on Sierra series tubes.
Used Pheasant feathers and #16 size tied flies.
Sanded to 400 grit only, buffed radially and laterally with extra fine steel wool and polished with Hut Ultra Gloss.
The fly fishermen in British Columbia gobbled these up.

They are fantastic Les. I live near to two big fly fishing lakes and know that they would sell there for a premium too :thumbs:
