There’s nothing quite like the look of a wrapped Turkey Biot body–perfect segmentation with a natural appearance–and with Hareline’s Turkey Biot Quills, you can whip these bodies up in any color that you like. Hareline’s Turkey Biot Quills come with two feathers, providing a ton of quality biots in a variety of sizes. A versatile natural material, you can use these biots for anything from nymph and dry fly bodies to tails and even wingcases, making them a perfect addition to any trout angler’s tying arsenal.
Uses
Turkey Biots are one of those versatile materials that you can turn to for a ton of different applications. These Biots are perfect whenever you’re looking to wrap a clean segmented body on a nymph, emerger, or dry fly, and they make for ultra-realistic tails and antennae on stonefly nymphs, and they can even be knotted to make realistic legs on crickets and hoppers.
Comparisons
Turkey Biots are most commonly compared to Goose Biots. Both of these fibers come directly from the flight feathers of these birds, but the fibers on Turkey Biots tend to be a bit longer and also thinner. While both of these materials are staples for tying tails, Turkey Biots are palmered much easier and are the superior choice when you’re looking to create segmented bodies.
