I've always liked the fullness of the Bondorew Bucktail. It's always been a productive pattern for me and it's easy to use as a template for creating wonderful blends of color. I seem to always put a saddle or two in the tail as well. Here's one spin on the pattern. About 4" long.

Hook: Eagle Claw 253, 2/0
Thread: Yellow
Tail: long sparse white bucktail under two strands of gold flash under long sparse yellow bucktail, topped with a yellow saddle, curve side down
Body: Silver body braid
Throat: Long white bucktail, then a shorter length of pink bucktail
Topping: Blend yellow and light turquoise bucktail, topped with purple bucktail
Eyes: Jungle Cock
