Wapsi Opossum has a wide range of applications and can be processed in a variety of tying methods. Opossum dubbing is ideal for mimicking spiky legs and mouth parts on nymphs, gammarus- and shrimp patterns. The fur is super soft with a strongly pulsating underwater action and is hence equally suitable for streamer-wings and tails for both fresh- and saltwater flies.
Tip: Hackle opossum fur in a dubbing loop to create bulky, pulsating goby streamers for your local trout stream!
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.
