When I watch a tying video that uses peacock herl the material looks great. When I mail order some it looks sad. I find that ordering eyes gives me a little better quality but the strands are thinner. My question is, Since I shop by mail, how do I access the better grade stuff? A second question relates to the newer Whiting Brahma Hen hackles. All of my necks and saddles from Whiting are beautifully trimmed with great care. The Brahma series of hen skins are really sad .The workmanship in dressing them out is pitiful. Are these imported from overseas like the other $5 hen necks we see coming from the orient or are they really a newer domestic line being worked on?
