skunk tail

Does anyone tie long streamers or jigs with skunk tail? If so,where is a good source to purchase this material? How have your fishing results been on various species?

I have made some musky baits out of skunk tail and i actually really like the stuff. It has pretty nice action in the water. I get mine from moores lures (mooreslures.com), will cost you about $3.50 a tail. Hope this helps!

let 'em go let 'em grow,
