Look good to me. Have you tried them yet? Only thing I could maybe see is you might have to add another bead or 2 to get the spacing for the blades. But if you tested them and they work no need

Did you use krystal flash as skirt material?

Looks like you might have an issue with the blades hitting the skirt material. I'd add a few more beads to increase the distance between the blades & skirt.

Thanks for all the comments. It may need a few beads but the main problem is the flash keeps getting tangled up in the hook....may need to trim it a little....any other tips will be appreciated. Anyone know how to make marabou skirts?

Did you use heat shrink tubing on the hook? Pushing the shrink tubing as far down as you can towards the curve of the hooks (not shown in pic) will also help prevent the tangling.

Also, using thicker skirt material will help with keeping the skirt out of the hooks.

As for Marribou, that's all I tie these days (that and hackle). Takes a little longer then tying on the flashabou, but looks sweet in the water for sure! I usually put 2 layers of marribou on the hook, then epoxy the top thread by the eye of the hook to make it a bit more durable.
