Question, if you could only use one tying material what would you choose? This should be interesting and for those who normally do not post here is your chance to be part of a thread...It should be interesting to see what all comes up and may even give some of you a new idea or material.
MINE WOULD BE YARN.
Mine would be C-4..lol.......I would say Neck hackle...Very good stuff to work with you palmer it for body material plus a tail material also..
thread :)
Hackle.
It changes with the seasons.... Mine right now for freshwater is kiptail.
Fox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For fish catching ability I go with kiptail. Just hate tying it.
Kiptail --- The last thing I would use is marabou!!!!!!!!
kiptail Hackle in marabou we use all three but if I had to pick one it would be Marabou.
The one material I have never used is Kiptail. So far it is ahead of anything else. Can someone tell me why it is so good?
I think the answer to your question is very simple it catches more fish.Quote:

Grey squirrel tail! I can tie with it natural, dye it. and do not have to adorn it with anything but a jig head and thresd to hold it in place to catch fish.
Rabbit! Great action and very versatile in what you can do with it.
They're the ticket up this way after ice off. Here's a couple.Quote:

I know when I use buck tail on crappie jigs I usually have to trim and the necks are really bulky. Also you can tie really small jigs with it. I love it. The action is not great but it catches allot of fish... Most popular around my parts is 1/32 black and chart red thread neck.Quote:
