Looks like you cut off the end of a tube!! I've tried the same thing. It still doesn't have the great action of a wooly bugger. IMHO
Marabou is the light weight action for a fly rod. Plastic is the heavy, not as good, action for a spinning rod. When my friends use senkos and plastic grubs, I use buggers and clousers and always outfish them. Top water, forget about it, poppers will outfish any stinkin' big hooked top water plug the tackle boys have. Really, no contest!!
Why not just stick with feathers and hackle? Looks better in the water, catches more bass, and is so much better to cast!!
