Started doing something I haven't tried before.
Place angel hair or ice dubbing on hooks hank
Put 2 bright neon colors of hackle on sides
Put 2 black or white feathers over the neon.
Some lateral scale or sidebars. Or bottom flash
Chinelle.
Finish.

This isn't hackle but I was bored and this is all I could think of when they got too close during the baking process. Two headed monster.

Thanks for the comments. It's the first time I've tried using 2 colors on the tails. I like the black truse too. I think I'll try the black and pink and black and blue.

The ties all are great! Now take the feathers after you cut the tip off and cut several "V's" and when you tie in the last 2 tips, add3-4 "V's" and you'll get a fuller bodied base at the end of the chenille. Just a suggestion.

Like that double bubble. only question I have is what knot do you use to attack to line. and how do you tie a double double uni?
