[VFB] marabou ?

[Richard D Zieger OD]

Was curious the other day and tied a few patterns by folding the marabou fibers over to form a wing on a fly.  When the fivers are to long I tie it in fold the end over toward the tail from the head and bind down.  I then tear the ends so they are near the same length.   Put them in the tub ( my wife did not ask) and pulled them thru the water beside a fly tied conventially.  The marabou seemed to move diffently.   Anyone tried this on fish?   Rick
