Peccary Mane Limited availability

Description

Peccary Mane hair is drawn from the hide of a bristly Javelina. Our Peccary Mane Hair Patches feature 4 to 6 inch long. Longer than the more readily available flank hair. They offer stiff, uniquely quill-like hairs whose naturally mottled black, white, and grey color makes wrapped bodies and pronounced tails on large terrestrial dry flies and subsurface nymphs. Especially useful for creating lifelike antenna or feelers on freshwater crayfish or saltwater flats patterns like Jims Golden Eye and Petersons Spawning Shrimps too.

A peccary (also javelina or skunk pig) is a medium-sized hoofed mammal of the family Tayassuidae. They are found throughout Central and South America and in the southwestern area of North America. This wild pig hair is quill like and very coarse. Peccary mane hair exhibits alternate bars of black and cream color. Great for abdomens and tails on nymphs and dry flies. The mane hairs average 4-6 inches in length. There are roughly 48 hairs in a packet.

Each piece measures approximately 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches cut on the hide, with hair fibers running beyond this.

Sale is for one single item, as pictured, although actual colour varies slightly between pieces. Some pieces show more barring that others, but all are very usable for a range of fly tying applications.
