UV2 Coastal Deer Hair – Natural
Spirit River UV2 Coastal Deer Hair is ideal for small dries, sparkle duns, and caddis flies. The hair features a sharp point at the tip and a short overall length with a slightly larger diameter at the butt. There is still some hollowness at the tips, even with its short length.
What is UV2 Technology?
UV2 Technology uses a double dye process to add UVF/UVR ultraviolet wavelengths to all UV2 materials and flies. UV Fluorescence is used in applications like street signs, while UV Reflectance consists of wavelengths invisible to the human eye but common in the animal and insect world. UVR helps mayflies find mates, bees locate flowers, and fish detect it—making it highly attractive to fish.

Used this hair for small dry patterns and noticed a significant difference in how the flies looked under water. The sharp tip and natural texture made the flies more realistic. The UV2 feature seems to attract fish better than standard hair.

Great for tying small dries. The hair holds well and has a natural feel. The UV reflectance helps the flies stand out in the water, which is noticeable when fishing in clear streams.

Tied several sparkle duns with this hair. The sharp point and slight diameter at the butt give a good profile. The UV2 technology makes the flies more effective in natural conditions.
