Buck Tail Substitute

Recommended Posts

X3 on the fish hair!!!! The only problem with fish hair is the price so I only use certain colors for accents and that way it goes pretty far. There is also a learning curve with fish hair, bucktail has a natural taper to it, fish hair doesn't and if you line the hair up at the same length you will end up with a jig that looks like a paint brush. The advantages are few but a big one is the colors, you can a lot more colors and it is easier to work with but learning to work with it and the price are the two biggest cons I can think of.

 

 

EDIT: I didn't list craft fur because I don't think it is a substitute for bucktail, craft fur has a lively action and has a fluid like motion where bucktail has a more subdued action.
