Barr's Meatwhistle. size 1 Daiichi 4660 tungsten conehead, large, black nickel w/ .020 lead wraps brown/black chenille base rabbit magnum strip, gold variant krystal flash blue/pumpkin rubber legs ginger marabou plumes Pm'd my address to MIC. Thanks for organizing! Looks fishy 👍. Wonder what those tungsten coneheads weigh ? Had Piper weigh a few tungsten beads the other day. 7/64 (2.8,mm) is 1/100oz. and 1/8 (3.3mm) is 1/80oz. They were heavier than I thought.
