Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 I'm based in UK so use cookshill. Foxytails also do good ones. If you tie small ones hackle stems make a good alternative. The second one down is hackle stems. If you know anyone with pigs you can gather your own never ending supply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2014 You will find some hackle stems take the colour on two sides and two remain original. Can create a good look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
