Deer tails are firm and loose shape easily... Craftfur is where its at.... Artic Fox hair is really good! Ive tried deer body hair... didnt like it.
I tye alot of threadneck jigs. Mostly plain lead head sickle hook white craftfur or fox hair and 2 strands of red krystal flash. Chenile looks good to me but doesnt seem to pull anymore fish than a threadneck.
Also I use these casting...Not with a minnow or nibble or tightlined....Just use em like a BGBS Cast count retrieve.
GeneC has me hooked on white stingers as well.. As a matter of fact All I ever fish with anymore is white BGBS style homebrewed plastics, green with silver string glitter or a white threadneck... Also Have been downsizing alot... using 1/32 or 1/24 and letting it sink til i see the line twitch.
