Hi Lastchance,

Whatfly has a great idea. Hook and Hackle used to sell their strung hackle for that purpose. It is none too good for drys, as it is relatively soft, but that is good for bugger hackle. Some of the strung hackle I have could probably tie down to a 1/0 bugger. It could tie a #4 or #6 in its sleep.

Regards,

Gandolf
