Hi Guys
Here's a question.
I am about to start re-tying some old and tying some new variants of the Green Peter but I am wondering about the wing usually I glue 4 slips of hen pheasant wing together with copydex, you get a hard wing that shapes well and will take a bit of punishment from the fish. But I have been hearing guys saying that a hen pheasant tail rolled is better because it affords more movement, takes less time to make and will take more punishment.;

Whats you take on it??????? All in all I have about 8 variants to tie in the various sizes and although the wing wing is all right I still think it could be improved  
Should I use hen wing or hen tail??????? Any Ideas
