The Grizzled Furabou Hends recreates the look of hare fur in a synthetic material designed for streamers. Its 5- to 8-cm fibers move freely in the water. Hends emphasizes that these fibers do not absorb water like natural materials, which limits the amount of water weight the fly takes on.
Prepare the length of the tuft according to the streamer’s silhouette, then adjust its density before tying it in. The synthetic hare fur finish gives the material its distinctive character. Using a measured amount at each tie helps maintain a clean head while distributing the fibers throughout the wing.
