You could make a case for belly hair to finish Buford heads based on color availability and saved trimming time with the shorter fibers, but belly hair fibers are often too short for our desired profile and too hollow for our preferred density. We recommend using the shorter, hollow fibers near the back/base of the tail when finishing this pattern.
@@cotypihlaja576 of course, happy to help. Ah yes, those hairs were from the back/base of the tail...hollow but not overly so and with right length for our desired profile.
@@MuskyTown okay. Loved the tying series. I’ve been messing around with tying some castable fly’s for conventional tackle. Always fun to watch in depth videos like these.
Great work man!
Thanks, Brady. Happy to hear you're enjoying the series!
Would there be an advantage to using belly hair for the last tie over using full length bucktail.

@@MuskyTown thanks for the reply. Was just curious as to why you used full length over belly hair. That makes perfect sense.
