Ray,
How are you familiar with a Hogue? He and I lived in Des Moines at the same time. I knew him well before he moved to the East Coast. We fished together a couple times in NE Iowa.
One thing about what he wrote: Antron doesn't make a very good shuck. It mats when wet. The original, and still best material for shucks is Zelon unless you are putting a little atop your fly's tail and then the matting is not as important as it sits atop stiff hackle barbs. My personal opinion, of course.
