Do you 'spin' the badger to get it to flare out?
Do you want to explain Hans, or should I? Go on then I'll tell.
Badger refers to a hackle colour. Well several colours really. A hackle with a centre list of black is referred to as Badger, they come most commonly in gold and silver.

Oh, that makes sense. I started to get excited because I have badger fur thanks to Jim, but no real fantastic hackle feathers yet for that size of hook.
