Real vs Faux Bucktail Comparison

[McFlyLures 0]

This video is a bit different, its more of a comparison between two materials. The synthetic bucktail, and real bucktail. From my opinion, I think they both have unique properties and differences, so much so that I really think the should be different named materials all together. Faux bucktail is somewhat misleading as its not exactly the same as the real stuff. In some ways its better, and in some ways its worse. For certain applications it could be better, and for certain applications it could be worse. So thats my conclusion.

Hook: Gamakatsu SS15 in size 2

Thread: Danville 210 Flat Waxed in White

Great video. I've thought about trying some of the faux buck tail but have more buck tails than I will use right now. I like the idea of the long length as seldom use the shorter hairs on the buck tail. One question. Do you always tie your clousers with thread. I tie all mine using either clear mono or clear polyester.
