Red Badger 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 I had some once and it had lots of stiff guard hairs. I used to use it as tailing material both for dries (little heavy though) and nymphs. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozes 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 I think they used to make old toothbrushes with wild boar hair. You can always make your own toothbrush . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

federico 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2005 I use wild boar tail fibers as tailing material from long time, I use also for antennae in all my caddis pattern, it's stiff and resistent after many fishes, recently I had a zebra tail it has fibers as wild boar tail but 10x longer, I love it!

Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 I am not sure but is the fur anything like pig hair, if so use it for dubbing. By the way where did you get the Boar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 4, 2005 I've seen a few dries tied with it as a wrapped body, similar to a quill body. Mark Delaney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
