Those quills have been used for bodies for years and years Chuck. But a much faster extended body can be made with a simple dubbing loop twisted, doubled in half, held onto so as not to spin while being tyed in, and then let go of so as to spin on itself. Make the loop twice the length as you want the tail/entended body. Spin/twist it "Real Good", then double it over itself and tye it in. After you tye it in, just let go of it. It'll twist itself around itself. Make sure you don't let it twist (the second time) until after you've tyed it in......same place you normally would. mark
