Hi Wade..This is the best place for your hides,best quality around,huge color selection and free shipping!!..The tails thing on my baits has been a struggle.I want a tail that looks like a real tail.If you notice on most manufatures tails,the color doesn't match.On my baits,the color matches yet they are still pliable so they don't inhibit a hook set.The tail on the Shiner definatley need some work,but these are proto's.I agree a fir tail would give alot more action,but trying too match color and shape would be difficult.Several people have brought the fur tail up,I may need too give it some serious consideration...Thank you for your honest feed back..I appreciate it..Nathan
