Just wondering if anyone else uses it for tying hair jigs?  I use it in combination with tail hair because of its thickness. It returns to fullness quickly and it slows the fall rate of the jig.  One of my favorite river/creek patterns is belly hair topped with a touch of yellow and black on top.  I catch everything from suckers to smallies and even had a muskie take a 1/4oz. one tipped with a Power Grub.

I use it to make a muddler style color on some hair jigs for the very reason you stated about slowing the fall. I also like the fact when I tie that type of collar using the belly hair it helps give a larger profile to smaller 1/16oz jigs.
