Synthetics
I will be tying some hair jigs for smallies soon & would like to know what difference there is between the craft fur & fishair. I've used the craft fur in the past for float-n-fly's & really liked the way it handles but never used fishair.

Never heard of fish hair. Check out Enrico Puglisi Click THis

Polar Aire can be hard to track down but is a fantastic material. Tough and very fluid, I have Wiper streamers made from it that have lasted years and dozens of fish.

Thank you Luvin'...found it online & placed an order. Oh by the way, I live only about a mile from Arthur & have been chasin those wipers for about 15 yrs. I've never taken one on the long rod. Are you throwing shad/alewive imitations or top water poppers?

Hey, I love fishing lake Arthur! I get most of my Wipers on the Ohio river though. I caught the fish in my avatar on the Polar Aire streamer I use. It was 10 and a half pounds. Here's the pattern. The Largemouth on Arthur like it too! I throw it on heavy tippet and have only hadone bitten off, that by a Pike.

You guys really need to check out the Enrico Puglasi sparkle... you wont tie wiper flies with anything else. It littlerally looks like a baitfish. When they say 'Just the right amount of flash' they hit the nail on the head. You can make a shad pattern like no other.

Is that different from his fly fiber?

Think of it like his fiber with hints of very small crystal flash fibers, real thin... thread thin. Its awesome stuff.
