3 out of 5 stars Mixed review 00/00/0000
Reviewer: A viewer from Greenville, SC US
I have mixed opinions about this. I feel goose is consistently better; stiffer w/better ribbing when wound. These biots seem soft and have to go through a few on the quill for biot to give the proper rib look and color if died. If you don't need the length stick with goose biot.

Good product for tying your larger size patterns when goose is too short. Good color too!

4 out of 5 stars Turkey Biot quills 00/00/0000
Reviewer: A viewer from Winston Salem, NC US
Great for making quill bodies on dries and emergers. Longer than goose biots so you have more to work with. I find them most useful on sizes 12-16.

5 out of 5 stars fantastic 00/00/0000
Reviewer: Jackson Hoose (jackson@jacksonhoose.com) from Northampton, MA US
I'm pretty new to fly tying and I kept seeing these amazing biot body flies. I bought one of these as well as stripped goose biots planning to tie my own. I've found that the turkey biot is a little bit more translucent and has a better range of colors on a biot than the goose. They are also longer which just works out, allowing more material to work with. I'm definitely sticking to turkey for biot bodies.

4 out of 5 stars Spinner Bodies 00/00/0000
Reviewer: Will Kuester (1008383@gmatc.matc.edu) from Greendale, WI US
These make beautiful little spinner bodies all the way down to size 24 if the needs a rises. They work really well for nymphs, midges and antennae also.
