Our marabou plumes are between 6" to 8" in length. Our marabou is carefully selected for dying and they are painstakingly hand dyed in our famous colors.

Therefore, the grizzly marabou that we do get is in very high demand and cost is a premium. This material however, is worth it's weight in gold. This marabou not only gives the life like action that we look for in the water, but the barring segmented looks natural.
