McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2020 Craft Fur Clousers aren't like deer hair closures. Sure they look similar, and tied in similarly as well. However, I find that there are a few things that make the craft fur closure more difficult to tie than the original buck tail clousers. I go over some of the techniques that make it easy though, and once. you learn these, they actually become quicker and easier than their natural cousin. One thing about craft fur is that it flows very nicely in the water. That makes this the perfect material for small closures. I have tied them down to size 16 even, and you still get a little movement even. Thats the thing, I find bucktail closures work much better than craft fur clousers when tied larger. Usually size 2 and up. You could even get away with a size 4 in bucktail, but I feel its important to get that movement, so smaller than that, I always reach for craft fur.

richmce 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2020 colors are endless,durable and very inexpensive. also works mixed with bucktail,craft hair as an accent you also get a shiny and dull strand from the opposite side. run it over a dryer sheet to remove static in cold months Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richmce 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2020 satin is at hobby lobby,wallmart,any crafyt store. also pick some at garage sales super hero capes, frozen movie doll dresses. most are sold cut off a bolt of fabric you can just ask for one foot length which is 54 inches wide. i avoid satin charmuse which is strechy cut a 4 x 4 inch square and pull the strands apart you can add to dubbing loop,tie on in the middle and fold over,and reverse tie works good too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
