PIP = Parachute Indicator Post, most likely. Used on dry flies.

 

Personally, I'd have left it off, but it probably won't hurt anything. If will, though, likely have a very different action and appearance than the rest of the winging when swimming it.

If it turns out to be a problem, it could easily be removed. I will be ordering some white buck tail very soon. If I ever get a chance to try it out, I will report back with results.

I almost bought a beautiful yellow bucktail with chartreuse tips today. All nice long fine hair and very full.

 

I'm glad I looked at the price though: every other tail on the row was $6...this one was $10.95.

 

Sorry, I love good bucktail, but not that much.

Sometimes the chemicals they use to disinfect/dye/fix/cook/marinate the materials also reek.

 

Unless it smells distinctly of rotting flesh, you should be okay.
