Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Yes, Troutguy. But you will only find one that's been hit by an autonomous car, on a virtual highway. If you clipped Kankalon hank from transvestiteEntertainer passed out on Bourbon Street, would this be Faux Yak Roadkill???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 So apparently I lied when I said I wasn't going to mess with it- I bought a package of it in white. I've tied quite a few CDMs, and other "bucktail" streamers with it so far and I still am not sure I like it. I also don't much like Veevus 6/0 thread, but in this case, the two materials work well together. The texture of the thread grabs a clump of this material better than flat thread which I normally use. Other posters are correct in that it has zero compression when tied in. Tiny drops of CA glue are your friends when working with this material. It does LOOK nice, more translucent than natural white bucktail. It is definitely stiffer than most natural bucktail. In my opinion it will be better suited to large, long flies. It is interesting, but it's not going to replace the real thing on my bench. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2017 Being stiffer might make it a better alternative for support applications? I.E. when you tie in some bucktail to keep other, softer materials from fouling on the hook, etc.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 possibly. So far I haven't fished any of the flies I've tied with it. Hopefully soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
