Genetic Mink Strips – Premium Fly Tying Fur

Genetic Mink Strips are a premium fly tying material designed for slim, refined patterns where natural movement, subtle flash, and a clean profile are essential. Featuring glossy, highly mobile mink hair on thin, flexible skin, these strips create flies that shimmer and come alive in the water without adding unnecessary bulk.

The fine, soft fibres provide excellent movement even in slow currents and gentle retrieves, making Genetic Mink an outstanding choice for salmon flies, steelhead flies, trout patterns, tube flies, hooked flies, and slim long-wing designs. The naturally reflective hair catches and releases light as the fly moves, creating a subtle lifelike appearance that can be especially effective in clear water or when fish are pressured.

Because of the thin hide and refined hair profile, Genetic Mink Strips are particularly well suited to smaller tube flies and low-profile patterns where traditional rabbit strips may be too bulky. They can be used for wings, tails, zonker-style applications, and other patterns requiring soft, flowing movement.
