Ok I am sorry more just getting into tying questions?

From what I gather from YouTube most crappie jigs use Chenille, and Marabou feathers.

1. What are the better brands of these materials to use?
2. I have also see flash used. Same question for this.
3. Any recommendations on tools? IE Bobbin, Scissors, Bodkin and Whip. Asking for good middle of the road brands not low end or pro level tools.

Thank You in advance!
