yi – one of my secrets to big fish or bigger fish over the past 20+ years of guiding, is 5″ inch white saddle hackles tied into the rear hook of my top-water poppers. For those of you that have fished with me and caught bass over 40″ inches using this technique (Al Uhler, Kevin Erickson are two that come to mind pretty quick) you know how deadly it can be. The down side is the feathers get matted pretty quickly and need to be replaced frequently if you fish hard like I do. I tie my own to get exactly the right “fluff” that works best on big bass. – Capt. Dave
