FTD Congo Hair – Rich Purple

FTD Congo Hair is a very high quality synthetic hair that sheds water and holds its shape. With a little bit of a crinkle in the fibre, you get more bulk in your flies with less mass. That means they are easier to cast and swim more naturally. This makes it an ideal material for brushes when tying flies like Blane Chocklett’s Gamechanger pattern along with a big range of baitfish patterns as well as native flies.  Congo Hair, including the baitfish blends, has a nice sheen and a great color range to match your baitfish patterns and native flies. Plus, this material works great for parachute posts and underwings on dry flies.

Each pack is 10″ length with fibers doubled over (20″ overall)

Of course, if you want to create all sorts of natural looking streamer fly patterns, then our ever growing range of natural hairs and furs is the ideal place to start for something different to the synthetic option. Don’t just settle on looking in the Hare & Rabbit category when you’re chasing quality winging and body furs, check out the Specialty Species Category of the Troutlore Flytying Store as well. Plus, we keep a great selection of Calf and Bucktail as well, in a big range of colours to take care of your freshwater and saltwater flytying needs. If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced, and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
