Thanks god! Now I know I'm not abnormal! Big Grin I found a piece of yarn from a baseball that was run over by a lawnmower and the inside was a yarn material. Needless to say I went home with a ton of yarn from the inside of the baseball. I started by putting my hook in a pair of pliers elastic banded closed, held between my legs, using sewing thread.

Same! I know a few older guys who hunt turkeys and rabbits. I've got feathers from the turkeys but no hare's ear yet... Big Grin

The muddler minnow is still on I got to learn, seems hard... Big Grin
