Love that feather. What kind is it? I can just imagine that slowly pulsing....nothing could ignore it.
Thanks,

It’s a small Amherst feather from the top of the head

throwing together some salty things....still have to add eyes to a couple....

I haven't totally decided whether or not to put the eyes right up front or hanging back a touch....I'm 99.73% certain that the fish won't give a shit though.

I am 110% certain that the fish give actual shits when it comes to eyes. You need to leave just enough room between the eye of the hook and where you place the false eyes for the holy spirit to slide in and bless your pattern. This is known.
