Favorite materials are, bucktail -hollow tie style- Fin racoon and arctic fox -dubbingloop technique to reduce weight- Wool and some synthetic hairs like SF blend or EP ultimate fibers. etc. E-Z body tube in the large sizes -combined with natural materials- Saltwater or any big flashabou -as tail or lateral line- and now as we speak of it, regarding those tail section.. you could go for a magnum rabbit strip or fin racoon strip, for sure you’ll get a nice movement. Some splayed out feathers will work as well like India or Chinese cock neck and schlappen, combining with a few long micro barb saddle hackle feathers.. you’ll find them in shopping malls now this days, don’t forget your scissors!
Long Ostrich herl feathers are very nice to use as well, love the movement of them, beautiful!
And if you really want to ‘kick some ass’, when nothing seems to work and when its necessary to shook things up.. you can tie in a double mylar bonktail. (you said wha.. ?)
