I use no tail on most of mine, with a Turrall Chartreuse ice yarn tail on some the "pearl" blobs which is very effective. I have used pearl and uv tails from Turrall (nice flash products) but don't like them IMO, a pearl wing 3 quarters up the hook can be effective though.

I use a superglue finish on most my blobs (cheers Fred!), this one has a small fl thread head. Just shows how much you can pack on the hook.
