I have been tying bucktails for musky fishing for a few years now along with various stream trout patterns. I was working on making bucktails out of flashabou, but was encountering problems due to the flashabou material tangling. However, I added a little bit of the Micro Pearl Flashabou to the back of the regular flashabou and no more problems. The Micro Pearl Flashabou adds a little strength to the material and stiffens it up a bit eliminating the problems with tangling.
