fisheye56 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 A few weeks ago found a web site with a company that sells hand tied jigs and flys. Used my head and started to tie my own.Had to go back and relearn some things but on the right track.I'm mixing feathers and craft hair for the right profile and colors.{ Floating flys} for spots. I need to find a place where I can buy diffrent colors of craft hair for less than the HIGH end fly shops here in Atlanta.Can anybody help?

bgcountry00 Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have used punishers with good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream stalker Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 We buy all of our craft hair from punisher as well. IMO, best craft hair I have ever been able to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheye56 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Im finding out not all craft hair is alike, For my needs the quality needs to be high with the fibers need to be long. A polar fiber works except when tieing bass jigs the length of fibers is critical.Thanks ps Did a word search and nothing yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream stalker Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 boy, you are right that not all material labeled "craft hair" is the real deal. Watch out for Craft Furl, which is not exactly the same as craft hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltrout Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I use the Punisher Craft hair for the hair jigs that I tie also. Its the best craft hair that I have found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheye56 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Orvis, and Fish Hawk here in Atl. Have it it must say select craft hair or fibers are not long enough for my application.But only Land Rovers and Benz's are allowed in parking lots there!I have paided for that sm. pac 4.00-6.00 for one ouch! The fibers really do well in holding sents and love the combinations of colors I can think of depending on the color of the forage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheye56 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 P.S. Polar fur works for the the floating flys and perch jigs I make really forms well after doctored with sents LIFE LIKE then add duck,chucker,other flecthings and mylar to really seal the deal.That floating fly stuff has changed my world on suspended spots this winter WOW!

HookUp Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Some PA boys I know swear by craft hair jigs in the winter. Punisher sells a variety pack for about $30 I'm thinking about getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Is the fishair from Netcraft any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Dutchman, Save yourself the time and money of having to replace materials and get the Punisher pack for around $30. You won't be disappointed. Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Got Punisher's hair. Great stuff. I just read on a saltwater site where they cut the hair in 1/4" strips like zonkers and then palmer it on a hook. This could be done with a jig also. Going to try it.
