Default red fluff on peter ross?

Hi folks,

very simple query: the red fluff on a Peter Ross. What's usually used? Seal's fur?

You are only limited by your imagination Matt. Dabhoy is correct but you could use anything.

You say that but I have yet to find a material that produces the same characteristics as seals fur.

The fly works every bit as well with flat red holo tinsel.

True, Kev, but to be fair GFL was just ratifying your answer for us all, and reminding Matt to use his imagination.

Nah.

Matt asked about ''the red fluff on a 'Peter Ross' ''

You can not use anything other than red seal's fur for a 'Peter Ross'. Or to put it another way.. if you anything other than red seal's fur, it's not a 'Peter Ross'. Not Mohair, not straggle, not red holo, not nothing. Anything else, and it becomes a variant. Rocket science it aint.

Now, that's pedantic.
