Rooster Hackle

I bought some rooster saddle hackle the other day by mistake( thought I was getting neck hackle) , it's a bit narrower and dense than the neck hackle. It sure looks good, just not as user friendly. Any tips on using it?

Yeah tie dry flies, LOL! J/K, but it's not the best for jigs for sure.
Notice how it is much stiffer?
