Hi lastchance,

I have been using hen neck hackle tips for wings on duns and spinners for about twenty years. The only time I've had a hen hackle tip spinner or dun wing break is when I was in too big a hurry to get the fly out of the fish's mouth and pulled a wing off the fly. I only use Whiting "Winger" hen necks. They will tie down to #26 (on a really good neck) Mostof them will tie down to size 18 and on up to size 10 or 12.

Good luck,

A. K.
