Nature Spirit Spinning Cow Elk in Natural is a 2x3 patch of cow elk hair selected for spinning, the technique behind deer-hair bugs, divers, and bass poppers. Cow elk is slightly softer and easier to compress than deer hair, letting tyers spin dense, even bodies that trim into clean shapes. The natural color is the undyed tan-brown of the hide, the workhorse shade for hoppers, caddis, and spun-hair bass bugs.
When to Use It
Reach for spinning cow elk when tying Muddlers, bass bugs, hopper bodies, and any pattern that calls for a spun and trimmed hair head or body. The 2x3 patch holds enough hair for many flies, and the natural color takes markers or dyes well when custom shades are needed. A tying-desk staple for warmwater and trout bug tyers alike.
