I need to start getting coon tails from roadkill around here. Should have 50 of them in the past month.
Not the squirrel tails, but the coon tail is bone out and tanned hide. The squirrel tails I have some bought and some I got and just dried them in my garage with regular methods with salt and borax.They were a surprise for me when my customer ask for them and said that is all he uses. They look different than any hair I ever used and are strange looking some what, but the more I looked at them the more I liked them. Little wiry hair and then a puff type stuff as you get closer to the hook and look nothing like I thought they would.

as you can see he did get some feather jigs as well, but loves the coon here is a picture of that order...

I feel the coon is worth you guys taking a look at and trying them. If these had been for me I probably would have put some silver holo flash (one strip down each side).
