I was in a dollar tree store and picked up some kids hair pieces the other day . Bet they are 2' feet long .Came in hot pink , orange , chart. , blue . that syntho hair works great for salt water lures . Cost a buck each and will make 20 or 30 large salt water lures each piece . As far as craft hair goes . You loose a lot because under the long fibers are some really short kinky fibers you have to strip out or it makes it hard to spread the fibers around the collar and it just does not look that good with them in there . Leaving them gives to much bulk and not enough long strands for water action .
