Black Bear Hair Piece - Hareline

The Black Bear Hair Piece from Hareline Dubbin is a premium natural material prized for its unique texture, natural sheen, and unmatched movement in the water. Slightly stiffer than marabou but far more mobile than bucktail, black bear hair creates lifelike profiles that breathe and pulse with every strip or swing.

This material excels in classic and modern streamer patterns, adding bulk without excessive weight while maintaining a smooth, flowing silhouette. Each piece offers usable lengths for wings, tails, and collars, making it a versatile option for tiers who appreciate traditional materials with proven fish-catching performance.
