Needlefish tail, what's your preference

[ChiefLinesider]

I like bucktail because of durability, my saddle hackle tails look like garbage after a few fish.
I prefer a 6/0 VMC siwash with bucktail on most my of my needles for the tailhook.

I like both SPARCLY tied bucktail and saddle hackle....with bucktail getting the nod...to me, it's far more important than paint!
