Tying video by Braden Miller in the Riversage Journal

5 1/2" Feather Game Changer Tied On The August 23rd Norvise Facebook Live Event.
Braden tied live on the Norvise Facebook page this past Sunday. Norvise put out several polls on Facebook and Instagram and let their followers vote on what they wanted to see Braden tie... a 5 1/2" Feather Game Changer or a Micro Feather Game Changer. The votes were counted and the larger Feather Game Changer was the winner, but not by much. Below you will find a general material list you will need to tie your own 5 1/2 Feather Game Changer. You have the choice of what color materials you want to use to imitate the baitfish of your choosing.
