That looks lively! At that length are you worried about short strikes?

No idea. This is uncharted territory for me. They are very small in diameter, so my thinking is that they'll inhale the whole thing. If not, I'll pinch some off. That's a 1/32 ounce head and #6 hook for reference.
It is lively. As in there's no way to make it stop moving if you're holding it. It's much more lively than the tail on a Bobby Garland.
Been using it for several years on trout flies. It will break off right where it comes out from under the thread. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t tie them until the day before going fishing. They will break off just sitting in fly box. Not durable at all.
