I always wonder what the difference between hackles and bucktail is? probably action?

Thanks Tobias - I knew someone had a scale.

Just a little more info - all stubbys on the market work including Super Strike, Habs, Gibbs - most are larger than the pocket rocket. The Gags comes "closest" to trying to duplicate the original purpose of the plug. They are fine sand eel imitations but to limit yourself to fishing them when only sand eels are present would be a mistake.
