The Extra Select Raccoon Patch delivers a rich blend of soft underfur and longer guard hairs—a texture that gives your flies natural movement and body. This patch is ideal when you want to cut out flowing tails or tapered wings, or add subtle body accents on streamers and migratory patterns. The dense underfur provides volume for dubbing or filling, while the guard hairs offer structure and lifelike taper when used in wings or tails. In steelhead or salmon flies, tyers often use this raccoon patch for rear winging or tail work, where the natural stiffness of the guard hairs helps maintain profile and the underfur adds a soft, pulsing action. Whether you layer it for depth or carefully trim for precision, the Extra Select Raccoon Patch is a highly versatile natural fur that enhances both freshwater and anadromous fly designs.
