Hey guys!

I am new to the forum, and in general new to the world of musky and lure building. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I want to tie some marabou spinners, some potentially quite large. In looking at buying marabou online I find quite a bit of variety. Does any marabou work or is there a specific type or grade I should look for?? I am assuming longer feathers with smaller stems is what I would want, but how do I know thats what I am buying? Or should I look at plumes, etc?

Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Austin

Strung 3-5 inch turkey marabou. You can buy pre-tied coils, but that's no fun. I have some colors in bulk I'd sell cheap. PM me your number if interedted.

I have used Moores Lures for mostly, but went in with someone who ties a lot and split a bulk order from somewhere else recently. Much more costly by bulk if you don't tie a lot. So, I have a ton of feathers... HAHA

For me, I like to hand pick my hair and boo dressings. I've ordered dressings on line, and it has been disappointing most times.

Me too JD. That's the benefit of buying bulk.

Where is a good place to buy in bulk? I tie a fair amount and all I have been able to find is 1/4 and 1 ounce packages. The 1 ounce packages are often in limited colors.
