Blood Quills tend to have thin center shafts, they wind well for hackling flies, and they gather well for tails and wings. The tips of the vanes align very evenly, making them an easy-to-use winging material. Jigs? Does anyone tie jigs? Blood quills are your best bet. For really fine work you will find sparse barbules allowing you to control the density of dress on your fly. Marabou Blood Quills give you a large range of use. Hareline Marabou is considered the highest quality marabou on the market.
