Troutline Premium American Opossum furs are carefully selected and precision-cut from high-quality tanned North American opossum hides. The fur is exceptionally soft, dense, and naturally tapered, offering superior mobility and lifelike action in the water.
Thanks to its perfect balance between fine underfur and longer guard hairs, American opossum creates a subtle, breathing motion that brings streamers, leeches, sculpins, and baitfish imitations to life. The hair fibers do not absorb water easily, allowing flies to remain light and easy to cast all day long.
Key Features:
- Premium quality genuine American opossum fur
- Soft, mobile, and highly durable – perfect for streamers and baitfish patterns
- Natural underfur and guard hairs produce a realistic, pulsating movement
- Easy to tie – ideal for zonkers, articulated streamers, and predator flies
- Excellent choice for trout, grayling, sea trout, perch, and bass
- Available in natural and dyed colors, hand-selected for professional fly tying
Why we love it:
- Soft texture with a subtle natural sheen
- Excellent movement in water — the fibers “breathe” beautifully
- Natural translucency that mimics insect bodies or small baitfish
- Dubs easily — the mix of fine underfur + coarse hair creates a perfect buggy effect
- Takes dye very well (holds bright, warm tones beautifully)
