I have used quite a bit of it and have enjoyed it because you can get it dyed up into different colors . It works great on small jigs.
I should have had my huntin buddies keep their tails. They only killed a 120 or so this year. If ya'll will remind me, I'll snag a bunch of them next fall.
My favoritest material. You just can't beat it for trout. I have been using this stuff since the 50's.

Good stuff although it is a bit slippery when you tie, I always make sure I have a good thread base so it doesn't move around
Sure have a bunch and makes nice jigs. Can sub it for kip tail in the right color.

thanks for the feedback guys!
The goggleye and smallies love the fox squirrel and the grey works great in clear water for crappie.
I have used squirrel tail jigs to catch crappie here in North Louiaiana for a while now. My favorite color combo is: pink head -chartreuse chinelle boby -cat squirel tail. This has been a real Spring crappie getter for me and my crappie fishing buddies.
