Hi JFK,
I do sell them but I'm out of them at the minute . I can order you some of the following -
coloured 6 feather rig - hook size 2/0 - 70p
coloured 4 feather rig - hook size 2/0 - 60p
6 black feather rig - hook size 2/0 - 80p
3 white feather rig - hook size 2/0 - 75p
Also do Cod feathers (6/0 hooks) - same rigs, couple of pence extra each.
I can also do the White Lightening Rigs for Cod and Mackerel
Good quality and very popular modern Mackerel and Cod trace. Each trace has five 3/0 hooks and fluro bead above the hook- could do these for about 80p each.
Let me know if you want some ordered.

The sea angler baits and rigs book and a book called the modern sea angler (which is none to modern) detail how to make your own feather rigs.

mackerel feathers
At the risk of irritating our competition sponsor :wink: cut a burst beach ball into three inch strips, ideally with two colours, one being white, and whip onto the standard 3/0 hooks, long shanked hooks are ideal, with braid, and varnish over the whipping and tie up knot to keep it secure. A bit of tinsel and even white thread will also work wonders. Not rocket science... but I will say that these will only work in daylight. FWIW...

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...
2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

No worries Kieran, I'll find the money for the baby's milk somewhere else !!
Like yourself, I make my own, only I use fluro orange tubing whipped onto a hook. Buy it from Lecky shops. Last longer than feathers and dont tangle as much as I only use 2 or 3. I find 6 a bit much.
