Flytyer Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Have any of you been getting any decent goose biots? A couple of weeks back I was looking for some and in one shop I looked at everyone they had and found the quality inferior and I would never use them so they stayed at that shop. The same thing at a second shop. The biots I looked at were like they were burnt or had some reaction to the dyeing process as in the middle of the strip large numbers of biots were missing a good part of their make up. Anyone else been getting stuff like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnotLikely Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I've found the same thing, and have started to use turkey biots instead. I find the quality to be better, and the extra length also comes in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownstone Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 same here, hard to find decent ones when you find them at all in the color you need..picked up some in the US couple weeks ago..they seem to have no shortage down there, wonder if it's supply problem of sorts..

Flytyer Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Glad in a sorry way to see it's not just me that has noticed this. I have been using turkey of late but I'm not getting the end result I want, turkey biots are too translucent for what I have been tying of late.

admin Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 If you have been getting some inferior products, write the manufacturer. They might not be aware of the problem or it may be old stock in the shop. I've had some bad product in the past and written them. I had it replaced free of charge.

I did write them twice and still waiting to hear back from them. I'm not happy with them as I wrote them the last time in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
