I made a joke how the squirrels in my yard would chew the plastic and all as they eat more of the suet than anything else. I tried it on the last one and now only the peckers can get at it and I have a lot more of them using it, and it has lasted about 3 times longer! I was Wrong and had to tell her!

delcecchi Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Got any good patterns? Squirrel or racoon tail? Is possum any good? Asking for a friend. Edited December 9, 2017 by delcecchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufatz Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Generally fly tiers much prefer squirrel tail hair. There are several long standing patterns that use squirrel but I don't recall ever hearing anybody talk about raccoon tails. The body fur might be useful as dubbing material but there are too many other options to make it worth the trouble. I doubt anybody would find possum fur of value as a fly tying material, but then I'm no expert. And I know nothing about making spinning lures and have never sold a pelt to any fishing tackle company. Squirrels are my pals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I was thinking more about the hair jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufatz Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Yes, I know that. But the squirrel tail is the best material for jigs. My intent was to let you know the PREFERRED material for tying. It would also be the PREFERRED material for tying jigs. Marabou would also make dynamite jigs but would not be as durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
