Hi Guys, Well the ice is not yet off the lakes here in northern Wisconsin so it's a good time to tie up some new jigs. I've always used Hareline Extra Select Craft Fur but I can't find the color purple anywhere. Does anybody have any experience using a different brand? If so, how does it compare to Hareline? Thanks for the info guys. Tight lines everyone!
There is a tying forum on here. You will probably get better responses there.
Moved it for you.
Good people to do business with: Extra Select Craft Fur
– Madison River Fishing Company
I get my craft hair from Punisher Lures.
What's the advantages of using craft hair instead of hair?
I buy most of my non chenille items from Hareline and see they sell Purple so what's the problem? I can order it for you my next order if you ever want to do that?
I have an account with them.

I called Hareline, they don't sell retail. But they told me they had just shipped some to retailers so I was able to find it.Quote:

Another idea you might could do if it gets where you can't find or get craft fur... make similar using yarn.

Just my experience. I think the hair is short and more uniform in length, which I’d good for some ties. The extra select is longer allowing more choice of length. Some of the craft fur has an under fur that’s quite bulky. I like the longer material allowing me to leave a few strands longer and keeping the profile too. That extra length is impossible to keep still, lots of action.Quote:
