Bill, this really does it for me. Those barbs look great and I've never tried to tie with ring neck. Did you wrap it as a hackle or put it in a loop?The whole thing works beautifully.

Thanks gents. w ~ the hackle is one wrapped turn; these barbs were out near the end of the feather, so the stem was fairly thin and flexible.
