Posts: 5 | Has anyone used pseudo marabou? If so, did it work well? How did it tie? Does it move well in the water? | |

Posts: 467 | The only thing that comes to mind is 'chickabou', a natural material and pretty much the same as marabou... Roguerat | |

St. Paul, MN Posts: 376 | Never heard of it and since authentic marabou is so cheap, and effective, why would you want to use something else? I agree, and use authentic marabou...a lot! The reason one may want to use sythetics would be durability. Many folks I know who tie with a lot of synthetics state that durability is a main factor. That said, I have never used synthetic marabou, and doubt it can have the same movement as authentic marabou. | |
