+1 on Todd and Maraude's post... I have a jig that barely has any feather left and it still caught fish this fall. The marabou is dirty and sparse but neither coho nor steelhead seemed to care. It has also certainly has been true for me that the sparser my clousers get, the more they hook fish when shore fishing. All that to say, it's cheaper to tie your own and don't worry if they don't look as pretty as others.
