Description
Neer Hair is an US made synthetic fiber that is a great for creating various styles of wings. It is softer than Fish Hair, but stiffer than Craft Fur and doesn’t mat when used in saltwater. It’s versatility and durability is quickly making it one of our go to materials for baitfish and saltwater flats patterns. It is buoyant, so it can be used for para post or wings on various dry flies. It is great when used as a wing on bonefish flies such as Gotchas or Christmas Island Specials. The buoyancy helps lift the pattern off of the bottom, but gets pulled back down when stripped, giving it a life like swimming motion. It sheds water easily, making larger salmon/steelhead and baitfishpatterns easy to cast and it can be blended with other winging materials to make fuller wings and bodies. Come is a variety of colors
