Just saying, these butts also have a marabou type short barbules down there and that with a little of the straight barbules together, then take two of them combined can make a pretty nice tail!

Glad to see that we think alike. I have done many jigs off of the part of the hackle below the V's. They turn out really nice and the fish absolutely love em. It also appeals to my cheap side, not throwing anything out.

I have one box with Rayon, Nylon and New Age bags and then I have another box with Crystal in it and I also have a divider in that box and have Estaz in the other side of this box. I do have some other chenilles also and usually keep them in a smaller plastic box. These I buy as packs like Cactus, Crystal Antron, etc. Over the last 12 years or so I have collected a large number of different chenilles and some I hardly ever use just because I am ac creature of habit and seem to gravitate to the ones I like best. Also these last few types I keep in their own plastic bag so I can keep 3 or 4 of these bags in one plastic box.

Almost forgot the hackle. For what I use from is each color has a Qt. Zip Lock and inside that is the main feathers, a sandwich bag with extra V's, another small bag of the butts of the feather after the V's have been taken and if I happen to cut too many V's I have another bag for them.

My main chenille storage though is a little large and there is another cabinet with some in it as well.....
