When they are drug through the water they are skinny looking,but,when you pause for a second the palmered marabou flares and makes it look bigger around like a Blowfish,lol.

Yellowjacket,you tie the tip of the feather behind the head of the jig.Then you dip your fingers into a cup of water and tease the barbs of the feather back towards the hook point while holding the stem at the bottom of your other hand.Then you twist the feather around the hook shank while keeping the feathers pointed back.You use the whole feather and tie it around the stem and cut it off.Then I usually wrap the thread arond the stem nub until it is all covered and you have a nice thread neck.Look at some U Tube videos.That's where I perfected the way I do it.
