I've been thinking about trying this out...has anyone played with this idea and if so could you post a pic and share your technique?

Thanks,

I use this combo often. Usually wrap the flash under the marabou on the back hooks. I leave the flash an inch or so longer to act as a teaser. I've recently been adding flash on top of marabou throughout the bait. When I get to my home computer I'll post some pc's tonight.

I put some flashabou on the back end. I make sure that i keep it away from the rear hook, as it will tangle and make a big mess. It adds some nice flash to the bou.

I use it. Noto so much a blend, as tying in my bou first, and building a large profile, with lots of bulk. Tover the top, then, goes the flash. Creates a bulging profile, moves niely in the water.
another thing I do on some keel weighted tails, is move my flash to one side, and marabou to the other. Again, a different profile. With that said, I don't REALLY think it is the body of the bait as much as the blades. I've got some bodies that are just plastic beads. Some of my favorite spring baits.

some pics I found. Not the best for showing the flash/marabou combo. Pics were taken to represent the tails as a whole. first one Black/white & yellow has about an inch of flash in the ass. The White/Pearl purple one is obvious and the bleeding smally color has red flash in the tail that is hard to see in the photo, but looks great in the water. Had a nice fish smoke that one last year.

Fish/whistle....nice looking baits, the pink/white is really nice looking....way to go!

Whooligan...I agree....it's the blades, not the body....

Thanks,
