Does anyone have underwater videos showing the differences in action of various jig materials (buck tail, maribou, furs, feathers)?

Does anyone have underwater videos showing the differences in action of various jig materials (buck tail, maribou, furs, feathers)?
I would be interested in seeing this as well

This may sound crazy,but I always visual test all my lures before I begin fishing,and if I switch out.:Doh:
Got home from work n ball game n tied this'n up. Kinda sloppy n no eyes on it, but this a basic hackle jig. I liken these jigs to Bobby Garlands baby shad as far as tail action. Video is sketchy w/ phone but as good as I can do one handed.
Check out my baby choupiques in the tank!
Will try to do another with a diff tail material tomor eve if time allows.

Nice job on the testing Ms! The rabbit is much like marabou in the action. Wish I had a good place to do that so I could show some nice long marabou and how it looks much like the rabbit if not better, but the rabbit is going to hold up longer I would think. I have a ton of rabbit strips and love the colors you can get from them.

Now we just need to convince him to add crappie to the tank and test eatability
you'll see not all marabou is created equally either. or what part of that feather your using, the tip or sides...
Absolutely is correct! I hardly use the tips on my little Roadrunners as the tip has a stem! I only use certain ones at times and that is probably more than 90% of the time there is no stem in my ties! I save all the tips as I feen they will come in handy for something I come up with at some point, maybe a small jig and use a few tips as a tail? Don't know yet, lol!Quote:
