Used this for a series of Murray cod flies and the movement in water is outstanding. The fibers are long and naturally translucent, giving a very realistic look. Easy to work with and holds well in the pattern.
Samantha Robertson –
Great for large streamers. The 10-inch fibers create a smooth, flowing tail that moves like real baitfish. I’ve used it in both saltwater and freshwater setups and it performs consistently.
Sebastian Langdon –
The color variety is good and the material is soft. A bit more expensive than standard fibers, but the performance justifies the cost for big predator patterns.
Irene Quinn –
Perfect for building full-profile flies. The translucency and length make it stand out in the water. Tied it with a few different color combinations and all looked natural.
