    Default Material comparison


    Has anyone ever used Wapsi Temple Fox and if so how does it compare to Arctic Fox? I know it's longer fibers but what is the action comparatively? Thanks

    Don't know as never used any of their Temple Fox, only Temple thing I have is Temple Dog which I bought several years ago to see what it was and never have tried it at all yet. Nice stuff too, but is a real dog and troubles with how they are treated in the countries where they come from. Sorry I am not much help on this one.

    I did a Google search and no animals came up nor did anything about materials for tying. Only business info came up so not sure what that is.

    I found that the fur is actually from a racoon dog that comes from east Asia.

    Yes it's the same thing. How's the action?

    Honest, I have not actually fished any yet, but I also have a lot of Fox tails and a good bit of Arctic Fox and the Finn Raccoon is not as soft and supple as Fox. So I would guess (which is all I can do right now) that the Fox has better action, but the Finn Raccoon is also long hair so it is probably good also, but I probably would choose Fox over it?
