R & L Roaches makes custom made Porcupine Hair Roaches and Turkey Beard Roaches made by Ryan and Linda Bajan. We began a few years ago with a pile of porky hair and fly tying supply deer tails. Over the years, we have developed a deep appreciation and respect for the tradition of roach headdress craft and have studied the subject in depth. We own the whole process: sorting, dyeing, tying, and sewing. Email us your custom order today! (orders@rlroaches.com)
