I don't think the fish will be too happy with it either when you pull them out of the water with it stuck in their mouths. What aren't you happy with? Just me but I'd tie the tail a bit shorter and maybe reverse the direction the hackle is oriented; minor stuff, though. It'll definitely catch fish.

Trade the hot pink for black nickel, turn the hackle over, and I could catch a fish on that.
Yeah I wasn't feeling the pink cone head, silver or brass, but that would catch fish as is i bet.
Oh, there's places where pink, orange, chartreuse cones have worked just fine for me, and I'm a poor streamer fisherman.

I'd say try it with either a black cone or a silver one, then mix a little krystal flash into the tail. It has the makings of a really great fly.

Get a red marker and paint the head red and take it fishing and ask them what they think......

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
You're not feeling it because it's in the vise.
Take it out of the vise, put it in your hand, and you will be able to feel it just fine.
I seldom fish 'buggers anymore, but I think that one will catch fish as is. I like the extra motion you get from the hackle slanting forward, and pink is the new red as far as bead/cone head colors go.

It Just Doesn't Matter....
I like it. Most of my flies have longer tails. I like them better.
Also llike the way the feather is. I think it gives more movment.

Is the tail Ostrich?
