Turkey Biots are worked as individual elements to form legs or other appendages. They can also be incorporated into larger fly patterns when the recipe calls for a narrow piece of feather.
Wrapped around the hook shank, the biot forms a body with visible segmentation. The direction of wrapping and the overlap of the wraps influence the resulting pattern: testing on the hook allows you to see the final look before preparing a batch. The range of natural and vibrant colors available expands the possibilities for bodies and details.
