jig tail material

[RLS40]

I go along with Cray and use fine rubber skirt material. The material I use has sixty strands per inch.

I have to admit, I can’t decide. I tie with most everything except rabbit (allergies) and like each one for what it brings to the table. Then I mix materials and it’s even worse. For example; 4 strands of rubber, 2 strands of flash, and a shorter Maribou skirt about half as long as the rubber. Works fantastic. Just too many choices. And then you see one someone else has tied and you have another new favorite. I do use some basic ties such as boo with a little flash on a bare lead head, which is what I started tying with. I guess the best I can offer is to see what appeals to you and run with it. Too many choices!!
