I was surprised at how big these were. There is a lot of material and this will definitely last a long time. I got these to blend into my own dubbing mixes as well as to use the material by itself for tying. The hair is great when added to your own dubbing to give it a good buggy look and dull down the brightness of yarns when making dubbing.
I was initially put off by the price but I have to say I'm very pleased by the size of the skin and the quality. I'm using it to make dubbing blends and I'm very happy with with results. You can extract a large amount of dubbing from these skins.
I have been using the Wapsi squirrel skins for blending dubbing for many years now. The barbs along the spine and color add the X factor for that buggy look and movement in the water. Blending your own gives a lot of satisfaction and adds enjoyment when you feel the tightness at the end of the line.......
I have just had the chance to use a pine squirrel skin which I had recently purchased. Although softer than its cousins its blend is great for flies smaller than # 16 and by adding a little of its cousins back into the blend and a touch of UV pearl really gives this blend the difference.
Be prepared for a sudden take.
