This is just in the interest of getting to know people a little better.
I want to know what is your favorite material to tie with? What material do you wish you had more experience using? And what is your least favorite? AND, have you found something to substitute for certain materials that you don't enjoy tying with?

My favorite material is probably feathers, since there are so many types, colors, etc. Or rabbit zonkers because their actions is superb.

I wish I had more experience in using brightly colored feathers for wet flies, like to make married wings but I haven't been able to find and good feathers for that sort of thing. So, anyone knows where I can get relatively cheap bright matched feather sets please let me know! I am not picky about type of feather, I just want different colors.

I don't like using mylar, because I am not any good at it, and substitute wrapping tinsel all along the shank of the hook.
I also get really irritated with rubber legs. But I haven't found any good substitute for those yet.

Your turn!
