Yes indeed, those are enough to make my mouth water and when you make them yourself the more fragile nature of the "bou" is not really an issue. I was leaning in that direction but have read a lot on smallmouth forums about float and fly presentations where they use hair jigs and wondered if I was neglecting something. Suspending one of each under an indicator in my small test aquarium the marabou wins hands down. Thanks for your respected opinion.
I also have skeins of a synthetic which has all the action of marabou. I think I'll leave the bucktails in the drawer and tie with the marabou and the synthetic yarn which besides the action of marabou has a bit of sheen to it. Funny how you sometimes need to be reminded by a friend what you already know. Always value your experienced opinion my friend. When I get a new camera I hope to have lots of pics to post of my upcoming wilderness tubing trip.
God Bless,
