I tried to get some kastmaster spoons and didn't realize the overall expense. I have some other sponns, but only with a naked hook. Does anyone know what type of hair they use when dressing the treble? Thanks for the help.

Almost certainly bucktail. you can get this in any shop with fly fishing supplies (or from one of the hides I tanned!).
I agree, they use bucktail. i don't see why you couldn't experiment with adding some maribou, tinsel for flash, or feathers just like on a topwater plug. good luck!
in the back of the barlows catalog they have supplies to make flys a lot of the colored buck tail and some colored squirrel hair
been throwing the kastmaster and the economy "k-mart" version for years, all seasons for walleye, stripers, trout and vertical jigging in winter for big spots.....and i can assure you the hair tail does not make a difference. when the hair tail hook gets dull, bent or otherwise unuseable i change it out and put a black matzuo treble on and continue to catch fish just the same as when the hair tail was on it. save yourself some time and money and buy the economy k-mart brand,unless you just want a wintertime project and want to tie the tail on. best of luck
