Hmmm, that moose hair sounds interesting ! I've found the base hair of a skunk tail is also quite stiff, and it makes a tremendous weedguard for jigs ;it's similar to the nylon weedguards of basser's "rubber band " lures (don't call them JIGS!!!), but skunk hair yields easily to a fish strike and rarely causes a miss even with light gear!

Very creative use of materials and colors!

I like soft - how does badger hair compare to my current favorite rabbit fur?
