If you are talking about my regular jigs I use strung Neck Hackle. I use the larger ones and pay more for them, but you can also get more colors in the 3"-5" Neck Hackle, I like the 4"-6" best or what they call Sale Water neck Hackle.
Crappie Dale uses the neck hackle as almost all jig tiers use. I would say no including hair jigs that probably 90% of teh jigs tied use either marabou or Neck Hackle. Saddle Hackle is more for neck collars and palmered hackle.
