My first two presentable wooly buggers on size 8 streamer hooks. After I felt comfortable with the bead head I started tying w/o the bead and had problems with the head and whip finishing. Without the bead I kept tangling the thread with the hackle and the knot slipping off of the hook eye.
I’m not sure about the marabou tail length. Online videos and pics show a long tail but my store bought WBs have a shorter tail. Plus, I saw in an older thread that streamer tails should not be too long b/c of short strikes or something like that.
Also, I’m not sure about the hackle. Is it too large or are there too many wraps?
Any help and critiques will be appreciated.
