Best Synthetics for tyinig bait fish

[lastchance]

I need it for smallmouth and pike patterns. Anyone care to weigh in on this? I know there are plenty, but the only thing I've ever tie with is bucktail for Clouse Minnows.

Senyo's Laser Dubbing makes good heads on baitfish patterns for Smallies & Pike. Or FlyFishFood's Monster Dubbing. For tail materials, marabou, rabbit strips, craft fur....all have great motion in the water.

Congo hair from Fly Tyers Dungeon, Steve Ferrar's flash blend are two I use.

Nice Ralph. Is Super Hair stiff? How is it in the water? Does it have much movement?
Thanks

This is a good article i think the best synthetic comes down to the actual size of the fly and application

Not too much movement. But it doesnt tangle and has good flash. And it blends with other materials like bucktail and crystal flash.
