Description

Sourced from Lucian Vasies of Romania comes CAT GUT.

First, it is important to state that Cat Gut is NOT obtained from Cats! – it is prepared from the natural fibre in the wall of the intestines of sheep and goats.

Catgut is a unique material!

In its dry state, it is a dry, stiff quite springy cord. The natural colour is a dirty cream with the odd glassy clear patch.

When soaked in water its physical/structural state changes dramatically. It swells noticeably and goes ultra-limp and the entire cord takes on a milky translucence.

Try tying in as you would Magic Glass / Larva Lace or similar and wrapping the cord from the hook bend to the eye. When dry, the body looks translucent and has a nice ribbed look.

Try the Pink for your Grayling Bugs; the Red is excellent for Bloodworm patterns. The Yellow pales when wet and looks especially translucent.

When wet, the pattern looks very juicy and realistic!
