Random quote: A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

Been wanting to make a few flashabou bucktails. Was going to order pre-tied but thought I'd give tying my own a shot. What I am wondering is approximately how many skirts can you get out of a package of flashabou? The package supposedly has 100's of 10" strips. Just wondering how many packages I should order. Thanks......

You can buy some flashabou from R&H that is 20" strips for 5.99$ or Moore's for the same price and that would make 1 lure of Double 10's !! I suggest you dont buy the 10" strips, buy the 20"strips!! Hope this helps! Tony

I buy the 10" but that's because mine are going onto flies, and not lures. Water-laden flash actually seems to weigh more than the blades, so I go lighter on it than I originally did. I can get a fly or two out of a package, but I'm not dressing my flies as heavily as a DCG type lure.
