Whether you’re tying bass poppers, divers, or oversized terrestrials, this is the kind of hair that makes the difference between a good fly and a great one.
Why We Use It
We use Josh Varner’s Big Bug Hair because it behaves exactly how quality deer hair should: it flares hard, packs tight, trims smoothly, and remains remarkably consistent from patch to patch. When we’re tying big-profile patterns that must float high, push water, and hold their shape, this is the hair we reach for. It saves time at the bench, reduces waste, and produces cleaner, more durable bugs—every single time.
