FNF 3mm Chewing Gum Worm Chenille
This material is a soft rubbery chenille ideal for bodies and chewing gum worms. The soft material is mounted on a nano core so it can be easily stripped off to tie in. The gum is buoyant so when tied in to flies it will slow down their sink rate. This has proven very deadly when creating worm patterns. The fly sinks very slowly, holding in the kill box for longer. Tie in a bead if you want to fish it under a bung.
The material has a soft curl to it so any movement will kick life into the worm as the curl opens out and then returns. The chewing gum material is very lumpy, giving it a more life-like appearance.

FAQ
How does the buoyancy of the chenille affect the fishing performance?
The buoyancy slows the sink rate of the fly when tied in, allowing it to stay in the kill zone longer and increase the chances of catching fish.
Can this chenille be used for both surface and deep water fishing?
It is best suited for mid to deep water applications due to its buoyant nature and slow sink rate, making it effective in holding position in the water column.
Is the chenille durable when exposed to water and fish bites?
Yes, the soft rubbery chenille is designed to withstand water exposure and fish interaction, maintaining its shape and texture during use.

The chenille adds a lot of realism to my worm patterns. It moves naturally when tied and stays buoyant, which helps keep the fly in the strike zone longer. Works well in deeper waters.
Diana Taylor –
Great texture and feel. The lumpy surface makes it look more like a real worm. I’ve used it in both clear and muddy water and it performs consistently.
Jack Stewart –
The soft curl gives it a lifelike movement. I tied it to a fly and saw a noticeable difference in how it behaved in the water. Highly recommended for serious anglers.
Melanie Lawrence –
It’s easier to strip than other materials and holds its shape well. The 2m per pack is sufficient for a few patterns. Satisfactory for the price.
