    Default Barlow's finn racoon


    Has anyone tried any of this hair from Barlow's. Looks very similar to fox, but longer

    I have not tried Finn Raccoon but if it moves as well as Attic Fox it will be a great fur to use. Not sure if the price difference would be worth it. If you try it let us know what you think of the fur and post a pic of the jig you tie.

    I certainly will. How much you get for the $ is of concern, mostly. I'll try to keep you updated.

    Went to Barlows and looked - if that's the piece you get for the money I think I'll stick with the maribou, artic fox and zonkers.
