Both of these materials are popular on bucktails. I know flashabou seemed to explode with the diuble cowgirl. Besides flashabou pulsating when being reeled in, what are the pros and cons of each? Seems like maraboo has a big following and I was wondering why? These new baits by musky mayhem seem to give the best of both worlds

Marabou is superior for casting... especially into the wind. It also provides a better profile. There is certainly a time for both.

Mixing the two on the same lure... well... I don't have an opinion on that yet.

for small baits I almost always build with Marabou because they soak up water and cast farther.

Why not combine them, like Shumway does

I like the profile of marabou better personally but I will use either
