Hi Allen,

You have to be carefull when spinning it. It tends to be quite soft, and I have literally cut through the hair all the way to the hook, and thus had the hair fall off, in spinning it. I do agree with the others, it is far too soft for good winging material, and so it flares like crazy.

That said, once you develop the touch to spin it, without tearing it up, it should tie excellent spun hair bodies for flies like the Goddard caddis, mentioned bove, and irresitables, etc.

Even more important, in your case, it will probably work great for spun hair poppers for bluegills and bass. I don't know how well it will stand up while being used in poppers, however.

Regards,

Gandolf
