Are you sure of what you are saying? Zucker's Feathers are virtually unobtainable. If you have a contact on how I can purchase them please help me.

Never bought from Englund myself, but it it is a well known company.  Don't think that they do international shipping.

I expect that whatever feathers they have are old stock.  Many of the trolling lure companies discontinued feather trolling lures when obtaining higher quality feathers became more difficult and expensive, while at the same time the broom (synthetic grass) versions were becoming more popular for both fish catching and durability reasons.

My daughter who lives in London is coming over here in 2 weeks time, so I could probably buy them for you,   ......BUT you will most likely be in a worse position, to ship them from Cape Town to Mexico could cost a small fortune and it may never arrive.

Boone do some 6" Tuna Feathers that look nearly identical to the Zukers.

I have a pile of albacore trolling gear do not need, I will try to get photos.  I could use a bit more $ for the October 10 day trip.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I have tried different feathers lures for tuna, unfortunately I realized that the quality of the zucker's product really makes the difference in terms of catches. Maybe it is also the weight/balance of the head. The quality of the feathers is a superior quality.

I can buy them here but they are expensive and are the straw ones. I can look for you next time I go down town.
