FAQ
Can this fiber be used in both dry and wet fly patterns?
Yes, the water-resistant nature makes it suitable for both dry and wet fly patterns, especially when used for lateral lines or tailing.
Is the fiber suitable for long-term exposure to water?
The fiber does not absorb water, so it maintains its integrity and shape during prolonged exposure to moisture.
How does it compare to natural fibers in terms of durability?
The poly pro fiber offers excellent durability and resistance to wear, making it a reliable alternative to natural fibers in high-stress fly components.

The fiber has a very natural look and feel when wet. It holds its shape well and doesn’t add extra weight to the fly. I’ve used it in several patterns and it performs consistently in the water.

Great for adding subtle movement to my flies. The barred texture is realistic and the fiber stays dry even in damp conditions. A solid choice for tailing.

I appreciate the consistency in texture and the fact that it doesn’t absorb water. It’s easier to work with than some other synthetic options and looks authentic in the field.
