Dressed vs. bare tail hook

[saltydog]

FEATHERS ON TAILS---> it is to generate action to the tail section, giving it a LONGER profile an MORE movement. this WILL ALWAYS ATTRACT more attention to the PLUG, EXAMPLE--- a stick pulled across the water is just a stright line, attach a TAIL, an now you have MOVEMENT as in a fish SWIMMING

NOW for TURNING the FEATHERS OUTWARD--> that is the CURVE of the feather is tied (upside down) instead of (right side down) this is called SPLAYING the feather which is for giving more water movement an on NIGHT TIME FISHING it will give the fish a BIGGER SHAPE or (SILHOUETT) to key on, again it's up to you what ever you likethats my 2 cents
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN
