nebass Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Hey Everyone, what are the best feathers (Hackle/Saddle/Tail) to use dressing up my treble hooks, I am looking more for the best action in the water over durability but if I can get both from the same feather then that's outstanding. I also usually put some flashabou on my hooks too. Thanks and I am looking forward to everyone' input Quote
georgiabassfisherman Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 ive always like the hackle feathers better u pretty much have them in the order i would use first Hackle,Saddle, and then Tail. Quote
Triton21 Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 IMHO marabou will give the most action in the water. It will move even when the lure is not. Kelley Quote
Super User islandbass Posted April 21, 2007 Super User Posted April 21, 2007 Marabou is great, but don't overlook white chicken feathers. I usually replace stock trebles on my poppers with personally hand tied trebles with a little flashy stuff and white chicken feathers. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted April 21, 2007 Super User Posted April 21, 2007 I do a combination of marabou and narrow neck feathers. Quote
