the original pattern used
Marabou tied on top of hook.
Wrap very thick Chenille to tips of marabou then back over itself then wrap to eye of hook.

In place of Marabou I used the longest bucktail I had. Don't pick out the short hairs. In fact you might  want to add some short hair to the long ones (short bucktails) to create the tapering of the material to towards the rear. This makes the fly much better IMO. I found the thick (about the dia of a pencil) chenille in a fabric store. Considering the erratic action and the fact that you could make it 13" long if you wanted to,, I'd say it has Musky potential. I also have some even better material in black. I'll tie one of them up next. I'm also working on a "plastic worm" fly.

Try one you'll like it.

Are those durable? They certainly look very nice.

Yes, they hold up well on bass and swim nicely.  They get heavy, and I like an 7 or more To throw them. I haven't seen those tails on retail store  racks in several years though.  I'd like to figure out where to buy them again.

They don't last long when a cuda gets his teeth in one.

Looks like those would work in the salt.
