Not too long ago I needed some Badger and furnace hackle. There seemed to be plenty for sale from the importers, but much of it no good. Supplier reputation seemed to work reliably. Orvis and a couple of the faol sponsers had some really good ones. I really like to tie conventional streamers using White or golden badger.I do not need tiny feathers for the patterns I encounter. I ignore the black tip.
