Default Mackeral feathers

I usually buy them in 6s then cut them & tie a loop in the ends,3 are
shorter & easier to cast,I get 2 for the barbie & enough for the days
fishing. If you want them for the freezer get them in the evening just
before going home or they blow & go off.

How many you need Clint?


I generally buy ones with six feathers but occasionally have bought
eight feather sets, I don't think I've ever seen any with only three
hooks. I know I could make my own, but for a quid or so, it's just not
worth my time. BTW, I do stop fishing when I have enough to eat.
