Can anybody tell me the difference between the calf tail and bucktail? Is the calf tail thicker and stiffer? What are the advantages/disadvantages of either. I'm looking for some stout dressed trebles. The smallies are destroying my bucktail trebles. :roll:

Calf tail is short and very fine.
Try some of the nylons, fish hair or crimped.
Much more durable than natural hairs.

Try synthetics, they are ussually more durable.
