    I’m having some problems with the hen tips I use for tying the wings on dries.

    I’ve had good broad hen wing tips from Whiting hen capes.

    Here’s an example of an Adams with those hen tips as wings:

    I like those… I have some great Metz ones, but must confess to buying a bunch of them in the early 00’s so they are probably dated at least 7 years.

    Those are as nice as I’ve seen recently.

    You can judge a man by the size of things which annoy him.

    I second the Whiting hen feathers.
