Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
Nice skins DUBBN. These are the replacement premium skins he sent me. No complaints on these. I only had to pay $10 extra, with free shipping. I have purchased quite a bit from this guy, but IIRC I always emailed him and was in contact with him before buying anything. Never an issue before. This tim...

My thoughts too.Ron Eagle Elk wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 4:26 pm I would avoid ordering from that shop again, if it were me. That second skin, to me at least, looks like it was used by someone, then resold.

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
Seems strange that "Pro" is the lowest grade; what is the better grade called? Tight Lines- Ken Pro is bottom Select is middle Premium is top Yes, if I'd I seen them at a fly shop I wouldn't have bought them. I sent them back and have 2 Premium skins coming. To me Pro sounds like it shoul...

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
He replied, said I ordered pro grade, which is the lowest grade and that there was a 30% increase in cost this summer. Gonna send them back and get a couple more of better quality, and higher cost. Crazy how 1 of the same quality was so beautiful. Oh well.

Re: Partridge Skins, would you send them back?
Thanks. Honestly, that's what I was thinking i should do. Think I'll email him and send him some pics.
Email with pics has been sent. I hate to complain, but 2 of the skins are simply sub par.

Re: SOFT~ HACKLE JOURNAL
Finally got around to reading it, cover to cover. Excellent! I did go to Ace and bought some wax meantioned in tips. I already had more than I will ever use, but... I bought the wax mentioned. Very, very sticky. I wouldn't put it on your finger. I usually just put some on my tying bench, where this ...

I don't like to complain and I have purchased several skins from this seller with no problems, not mentioning the name. 1 skin is beautiful, the other 2 not so much. Missing a lot of feathers off the back of the skins. 1 of these skins does have really nice e feathers around the neck. So, would you ...

Re: Going Out of Business
Looks like WFC is back in business! Still $7 per 100 hooks. Free Shipping over $25, used to be $35. I stocked up when it looked like he was going out of business. Should be good for several years. Still don't know how he can sell them that cheap.

Loss of Breath 2

It is a small town not far from where I used to live, Fergus Falls, MN. Anyway, they have the world's largest Prairie Chicken. https://i....
