Here's a few sedgehogs; both did well for me last season easilly outfishing claret. I know some people don't bother with a hackle relying on another turn of dubbing, but I think it suggests legs and other appendages and finishes off the fly better.

Great tying, I agree 100% about the front hackle, It does finishes off the fly alot better. I also do that with mine.
