Each set of pheasant hackle and pheasant marabou make one section. Depending upon hook shank length, tie in 2 to 4 sections. Gunner used three sets for a #4 hook below.

When tying in pheasant marabou, use thumb nail to move fibers 180 degrees on top of hook

Spinning deer hair – When tying deer hair, Gunnar places three soft wraps using thumb and forefinger to move deer hair evenly around hook.
