Very cheap and abundant synthetics BRAIDED WEAVE

[freestonebound]

Go to a local hair shop where black women get hair extensions (weaves). They got tons of stuff which makes for great tails and such. You might think this is a joke but I am serious. I learned this trick from a friend who is in a fly tying club and alot of them do it. You'll probably not be the first fly fisher to go in the store to buy some bags of BRAIDED WEAVE! Plus it comes in all different colors ( Red, Yellow, Green, Purple, Black, Blonde, etc)

I posted on theis about 4 years ago... it is ok for making swff and pike flies but i cant see it getting too much use in game fishing

Sometimes it is actually horse hair... but in this case it is synthetic. I've tried streamers for trout in Catskill, Ny region trout. They enjoy it until they notice the hook in their jaw!

I wish I would have know of your post for years ago... Ididn't think pike but yes, great idea!
