So I tied a third variation of this fly. This one incorporated craft fur as a back and, in my opinion, is the optimal design. The action of the fly was a little less than the marabou but also caused it to hold a better profile. What I really mean is that the marabou made the fly appear more fluffy, which didn't seem very realistic. The craft fur gave more of a wavy, swimming motion and the profile of the fly looked more lifelike due to a taper that had most of the mass towards the head with a taper towards the tail. Check out the YouTube video for a visual on what I am attempting to describe. All that's left now it field testing!
