Mink Strips

I tie a lot of Landon Mayer mini leeches. This is the perfect material!

I use these strips in several of my crayfish patterns, and love how they perform! Because the Mink skin/fur wants to float, it doesn't matter whether I'm fishing one of my dredgers or one of my swimmers, when I pause my retrieve, the "claws" rise in the water column, giving the appearance of the "defensive position". Sometimes I think that alone is enough to entice a strike! Specially, when fishing for Smallies! The fly below is a Shultz Outfitters Fleeing Cray variation that I used the Gray Mink Strips on.

Haven't tied with these yet but they look great for the pattern I plan for them. Perfect sizing. Going to give 5 tars just on perception and JS quality!
