One more tip would be to use southern deer tail. The Northern White Tail or Bucktail is very hollow and is a bit of a job to tie. If you get a Northern Bucktail use the hair from the lower part of the tail it is finer and not as hollow. The Big old Swamp Bucks had tails that you could use for spun hair bugs from base to tip. Beautiful tails but hard to work with.
