I'll second the spey hackle. Great stuff. I've used the Bronze grade. Been told the Silver is worth the extra $$$$. Sax, are you using one or two hackles when you palmer? I've found that with a 2/0, I need to use two hackles to get the look right. Palmer them simultaneously.

The spey hackle can also be used to tie very interesting and effective soft hackle flies and flatwings :-)
