The UV effect is noticeable under sunlight and in natural light. Works great with small streamers for trout patterns. The 12 mm fibers hold well during tying and maintain a smooth, translucent look.

Strong enough for medium-sized flies. The UV shimmer adds a nice touch to baitfish patterns. A bit stiff when first tied, but softens after a few uses.

Perfect for creating realistic small baitfish. The transparency and UV glow make the fly stand out in clear water. Easy to work with and durable during casting.
