calf tail vs. bucktail

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.

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