There is nothing like it on the planet. natural or synthetic.


COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

Did anyone ever get any of these tails? If so do you have any pics of jigs tied with them?

I will do a side by side comparison of the gray and russian blue.
once you tie a few jigs with this hair and see the difference, you will really like it.
hopefully whoever I decide to trade with will give an honest review of the hair.
This has been kind of a secret weapon of mine for a while now, and I decided to share, thats all. I catch my share of crappie, and always try to get better. if you dont love the hair, I will take it back.
If you were to look at the hair under a microscope, it has tiny secondary hairs on the strands, that give it the livelyness. Im not trying to sound like a used car salesman here, but theres just nothing else like it on the planet. natural or artificial.

WELL, instead of calling you leaning post, maybe we aught to amend that tradin post! I love that anyone outside a fur trader knows the differences in such depth of different types of squirrel tail, not to mention other types of fur. I love it! I believe the Alaskan and Canadian squirrel tails rival some of the stuff the Russians produce. But there is no doubt hair on the cold climate animals are much better, thicker, and denser than the stuff you can find in the lower 48...great post! Say, you never mentioned what you are looking for in trade, as I may be very interested. They make great Jigs, I used to have a guy tie me some up when I fly fished years ago...

CAT the problem with the alaskan and canadian tails, is it tends to curl alot at the ends. the russian blue tends to be straighter and pointier. it has more taper from root to tip.

I will say the ones in this pictures really do look great! Would love some of that to play with. Don't know if you have found the heads you want or not, but if not PM me and we can talk. I have a good many 1/8 and 1/4 oz heads.

Another really cool thing abt squirrel is how it reacts in water.. now if you take a feather jig, and dip it in the water, the feathers cling together and form kind of a solid stem shape. when you jig it, the whole stem kind of indulates as one solid feather.. maribou opens some, but for the most part, sticks to itself as a clump.. when squirrel hair hits the water it splays open like a flower opening is the best way I can explain. it wants to open and seperate, then when you move it, it tends to want to close together slightly. so you get a pulsing indulation effect. I think this is really the magic in the hair that attracts a bite.
Adressing Skip, im good on jigheads now thanks to Dan , he got me fixed up good. I will think abt something else maybe to trade. I only have a couple left that I will consider parting with.

im sure several folks on this forum have done extensive internet searches for these tails and have found out, they arent easily gotten. . I will sell just 2 more at 16.00 each, plus 3.00 shipping. OR trade 2 tails for 4 large jars of berkley crappie nibbles. chromaglow chartreuse, or chartreuse sparkle, or silver sparkle, or plain chartreuse shipped to my door. OR deal number THREE . A new marker bouy, and a spool of 4 pound test P LINE fishing line.
if I can track down any more I will let everyone know. usually I can only buy a couple or 3 at a time, so these tails were collected over a course of several years.

I can live without them as I have way too much stuff anyway. I would have traded something I will probably not use ever again for them, but I sure don't need them, but thanks!

I still have to figure out what to tie for a guy that wants some of my Polar Bear.

Yes, I use the hair for different purposes, tieing jigs is just one thing they are used for, I also make special detail paint brushes with this hair, so they will get used one way or another if I keep them. It is much harder to buy than it is to sell.

My first impression was wow this fur is so soft unlike any other squirrel fur i own.
I couldn't wait to start tying, so These are the first ones

Thank you steve! And if you ever get another albino tail please keep me in mind

The albino russian blue tail is a fiery reddish gold, just stunning. he must be the cassanova of the squirrel community. roflmao maybe one in every 5,000

that black and orange will be great for heavy stained or muddy water ! the hair wont fade either, because it wasnt dyed,. its natural.
