Best Parachute Wing Post Material For Fly Tying

Tue, 08/14/2012 - 21:51 -- smaslar

I wanted to pass on a great fly tying tip I came across recently.  Our sister company, Bestway Outdoor, received a great handwritten note from a fly tyer about using Neer Hair fly tying material for wing posts on parachute style flies.  This customer states, "In my experience, 'Neer Hair' is absolutely the best material I have found for wing posts.  It is very durable and floats well."

Neer Hair's water shedding properties, which make it a favorite among salt water fly fishermen, also make the material highly funtional when tying dry flies.  The bright colors that Neer Hair comes in are perfect for making your fly highly visible from a distance.  This synthetic material's durability also means your fly will stand up to lots of abuse.
