Yeah, hackle makes some nice looking tails. Different action and look than marabou, but works well.

The jig swaps are a lot of fun. See the sticky at the top of the board for a complete description. Basically we organize a group of roughly 20 fellas and once we had a lady and we all tie up a jig along a certain theme. Then we trade them will the other folks in the swap. The Shellcracker swap just ended and Jig Swap 7 is going on right now. Check out the threads. We have a pretty good time with it.
