Elk hair for mouse

Recommended Posts

I don't disagree with what's been said; but I think the issue is more one of, why re-invent the wheel? There are some relatively basic, established Gartside mouse patterns that might be worth a go. If you want to vary those patterns and try a red tail instead of a Coypu tail, for instance, or add CDC to the wet mouse, or use a little flared deer or elk hair on top of the foam, you might find it more worthwhile.
