Im sorry this post has seemed to cause a disturbance, But if you read my question I wasn't looking for a comparision between whiting and anyone else I just wanted to hear a response from fly tiers who have tried the two types of hackle mentioned and get thier opinions.

And the reason I have a limited budget is because Im trying to atleast sample all the major brands of hackle to form my own opinions. And yes I will be trying COnranch in the future.
