Well I don't know who did what but I think the Rabbit Bugger is a distant cousin .

I tied this up for smallies. Haven't tried it yet, but it looks "fishy" to me.

Panman,

That won't catch ANY smallies. Better just save yourself some disappointment and send it to me.

Sir Fishlux:

Send me your snail mail address and I will get a couple on the way to you.

Seems like in the examples above rabbit is used a lot. Would you comment on the pros and cons of rabbit vs marabou. Which would be your first choice?

[OkieBass133]

I think marabou looks and moves better, but rabbit is easier to work with. But, they're different materials, you have to handle them differently and they do different things. Luckily they're similar enough that there is some overlap in their uses and that allows for personal preference.

Oh, and while I hate wooly buggers down to the very core of my being, I play with them at the vise from time to time because they are pretty fun to tie. Some of my creations?
Muddler buggers. Woolies on long-shanked hooks with spun and clipped muddler heads and collars.
Two-hackle buggers. Tie in two hackles of contrasting colors. If you tie in at the bend and palmer forward then palmer them one at a time so you don't have to tie down two hackles at once. If you tie in at the eye and palmer back, wrap both at once so you don't have to hold one hackle while you wrap the other.
