    Default Finnish Raccoon Fur


    I got a little of this Finnish Raccoon Fur earlier this year, but have just looked at it since, lol! It's really different and has a few long straight Hairs, but most looks like long underfur. Anyway I wanted to tie something to see what to think about it. So here is a 1/32 Oz Roadrunner to take advantage of the Blue and White color combo!

    Looks great Skip. I use raccoon tails for small bluegill jigs. Acts similar to squirrel tail in water. Plus, you can take a stiff dog brush and get some nice underfur for dubbing.

    Thank you all, much appreciated!

    FYI this is nothing like what we call a Raccoon, this stuff is pretty long and all White. I also have some Raccoon tails and they are a lot different than this stuff and the long straight hairs are not a big part of what’s here, it’s just different.
