Strung Marabou Yellow 1/4 and 1/8 th oz packagesapproximately 3 inches long) Marabou is ideal for creating leeches, damselfly nymphs, dragonfly nymphs and minnow imitations. When wet, it gives a realistic wiggle to your patterns. Extremely versatile, Marabou can be used for tails, wings, collars or beards and is a key material in many steelhead, trout and salmon patterns. It can also be used as a dubbing or tied in by the tips and wound forward as a body material.
