they are all different in stiffness, bulk, texture, etc. I myself love to work with kiptail but it takes a while to get good tying with it. I tend to tip the kiptail jigs with a minnow, half a worm or crappie nibble, the marabou catches fish all by itself with no extra bait and the craft hair I haven't fished with yet altho I tied some jigs with it.
