Thanks all! Normally I go with big tails, rabbit zonkers, bucktail, and even marabou but lately I've been watching the action of different material in the water and I learned some things. The jigs made with marabou have a ton of action, the big tails I made work fantastic when moving and when sitting still but I've been really amazed at how hackle slows down the fall and waves around in the water so I thought the wooly bugger may be better if I highlight the body rather than the tail. Itried it in the water today (5 gallon bucket makes testing in house easy) and I now agree with all of you, I need to use more tail material, that little bit of marabou move so freely but because it does the sparse tail seperates and is moving but it is hard to see as it doesn't have much mass to really draw attention to it. I'll use it but the next one I make with have a bigger tail for sure!
