Hybrid Wiper Reproductions

A museum-grade fish blank for taxidermists

Our premium hybrid wiper fish blank is specially engineered for lifelike anatomy and crisp scale detail. Choose Unassembled for ultimate control or Assembled (Ready to Paint) for time savings—both built with Waters by Klaus’ world-class accuracy, 360° display quality, and dependable service for professional fish taxidermists.

Lifelike anatomical detail designed to elevate your next fish mount

Our Hybrid Wiper (aka hybrid striped bass) is a precision-cast fish blank for taxidermy studios that demand museum-quality results. Clean seams, sharp scale transitions, and anatomically correct profiles deliver mounts that capture the predatory look of this fish—perfect for wiper commissions or skilled DIY taxidermy artists.

What makes our Hybrid Wiper blank world-class?

Every Waters by Klaus fish blank is molded and hand-finished by specialists who prioritize detail and quality over volume. Expect tight fin junctions, symmetrical profiles, accurate head geometry, and subtle skin textures that accept paint smoothly. The result: premium fish replicas that look alive from across the room and flawless up close—ready for high-end clients, lodges, and museums.

Do these blanks provide 360° display options?

Yes. The Hybrid Wiper series is engineered for left-facing, right-facing, or full 360° presentation from the same form—ideal for pedestal, shelf, or freestanding displays without compromising silhouette or seam quality. Great for showcasing the species’ deep, stocky body with the hybrid’s signature broken horizontal striping and a strongly forked, fast tail.

Which build options can I order?

• Unassembled — Ships as high-fidelity components for shops that prefer their own seam, fin, and pose refinement prior to paint. Fastest lead time and maximum control for fish taxidermy workflows.
• Assembled (Ready to Paint) — Professionally assembled and seam-finished at the factory. Unbox, prep, prime, and paint—saving hours per mount and keeping your taxidermy production on schedule.

What support and guarantee do I get?

If you’re not 100% satisfied, return within 30 days for a full purchase-price refund or replacement. Need help with eye size, habitat pairing, or finishing? Call or email and speak directly with the craftspeople who build our blanks.
