Someone mentioned sharpening scissors a while back. A couple draws across, a couple down the length, and they are plenty sharp again.
Workin' up some sz. 12 Red Ribbed Cruncher's. Subbed red floss for the red flash. Hackle tips same color as tail.
And some sz. 10 Black and Red Buzzers. Subbed biot for the jungle cock.

Gorgeous as always Norm.
I get anxious just thinking about wrapping that tinsel. And then what if a toothy cutt or bully grab it before a steelie? Shit, is this what people mean when they say they are "triggered"?

Posted 6 days ago. The Orange shrimp was originated in 1840, predating the use of chenille. The Orange Shrimp also had no tag and the long JC cheeks
was part of the recipe. The body calls for orange wool or floss. and a wing of White Bucktail. rib of fine gold tinsel.
1936 the Polar Shrimp introduced by Shoff Fishing Tackle from Kent WA. Which Norman has tied a vey fine example of above.
