Tying materials from Wapsi are popular with beginners and tying professionals alike. Already since 1945, Wapsi from Iowa has been the first choice in the USA for a wide range of high-quality materials for all kinds of flies. We especially like to use Wapsi's natural products at the tying table - the Muskrat Back is no special exception.
Wapsi Muskrat Back is a universal natural product that should not be missing on any tying table. This fur consists of a combination of soft underwool and single, longer hairs that are characterised by a fine structure. The wool has the ideal colouring for a classic Adams and makes a great dubbing that is easy to work with. The fur from the muskrat's back can also be used for small zonkers or modern jig streamers, which are becoming increasingly popular in Euro nymphing. You can use either just the hair or a whole strip of fur. All in all a very versatile product in best Wapsi quality for dry flies, nymphs and streamers!
Wapsi, founded in 1945 on the banks of the Wapsipinicon River in Iowa by Lacy Gee, is one of the oldest companies for fly tying materials. Originally specialising in the production of artificial flies, within three decades the family business developed into one of the largest manufacturer and wholesaler of tying materials in the United States. Today, Wapsi offers an impressive variety of products for fly tiers worldwide. The range includes a wide selection of feathers, furs, dubbings, rubber legs, wires and much more. The company's clever solutions for storing tying tools and its extensive range of accessories are outstanding. Despite the high quality, Wapsi remains true to its roots and offers all products at extremely fair prices.
