Anyone use ducktail for crappie jigs, or is it too stiff?

I've got a lot of bucktail left over from tying saltwater jigs, which I haven't done in years. Wondering if I can repurpose it for Crappie jigs.
All the best,

Yep! I don't know why the program kept changing Bucktail to Ducktail. In fact, it just did it again as I was typing this. I caught it in the body of the post, but I missed it in the subject line. Sorry about that! Thanks for the feedback. I might wrap some up this week.
All the best,

Yes, over the years of tying I use to tie a lot of Bucktail jigs for guys! Some like it better than anything else! I like feathers, but also will use a hair type jigs sometimes. I do find the smaller tails to be best as the hair it a little smaller/thinner!
