Coley,
Not great on the float but they give a good bobbing action on the strip pause with a decent surface commotion.
They would need more foam to really float well but that would mess up the smaller profile.
I do plan to tie up some bigger versions this summer for coho.

Those curly tails would surely add some action to any pattern.
