Feathers v.s. Bucktails
My reply has more to do with how the tailhooks are display rather than how the dressing make the plug swim.
If you have just plain bucktail on the hook there is a less pronunced back and forth action, I call it less sexy.
But if you have a tailhook, preferably a siwash using feathers, and just the right amount, then the action can be really provocative (more sexy), and in my opinon really adds another dimension to the plug. Use bucktail as a platform or a very slight collar when using feathers.
I have an AH yellow danny that came from Don with a tag and bucktail. It didn't do much for me. I changed it to yellow feather with very little bucktail and the difference to me was stunning. Standing a few feet about the water watching the plug during retrieve should convince anyone. Besides the feather actually looks like a fish tail.
