Varner Big Bug Deer Hair 3"x4" Late Season Grade 2 is a premium deer hair fly tying material built for tiers who need volume, buoyancy, and strong flaring performance without the higher cost of Grade 1. Sourced from late-season hides, this hair features long, dense, hollow fibers that spin, stack, and pack easily for large-profile flies.
Designed for bass bugs, poppers, divers, musky flies, saltwater patterns, and oversized articulated streamers, this patch gives fly tiers the structure needed to build durable heads that hold shape under thread pressure and trim cleanly at the vise.
Grade 2 Quality: Grade 2 offers the same long, buoyant late-season hair with slightly more natural variation and less perfect tip alignment than Grade 1. It is an excellent choice for everyday tying, production tying, and large patterns where volume, flotation, and usability matter most.
Late Season Hair: Late-season deer hair is naturally thicker, longer, and more hollow than mid-season hair. That extra structure helps the fibers flare wide, pack tightly, and float high, making it ideal for big flies that need to push water and maintain their shape.
Perfect for tying:
Varner Late Season Grade 2 Big Bug Deer Hair is a great balance of performance and value. It gives tiers the length, density, and buoyancy needed for serious big-bug tying, while the Grade 2 classification makes it a practical option for anglers who go through a lot of deer hair at the bench.
