The hair is incredibly soft and moves naturally in the water. I’ve used it for musky patterns and it looks realistic when wet. Great for long tube flies. No shedding, and it holds its shape well.
Diane Sharp –
Highly satisfied with the quality. The translucence when wet is perfect for saltwater flies. It’s durable and the natural taper makes it ideal for long patterns.
Yvonne Henderson –
Works well in pike patterns. A bit more expensive than other options, but the movement and softness are unmatched. Slightly harder to cut due to the taper.
