Body Materials

The combination of strength and small diameter makes this our go-to tying thread. Because Nano Silk lays perfectly flat you get no thread build up. 

Size: 18/0 (30 Denier), 50m (54 yards) spool.

Each pack contains 25 quills.

Sparkle Dubbing is a vibrant sparkling dubbing designed to reflect light which glints through this superb dubbing. Sparkle Dubbing is synthetic and has a sheen that reflects light and adds lustre and sparkle to dubbing.  It is a longer fibre that you can blend with other dubbings. After all, as anglers we have all send natural bugs glisten and sparkle in the sunlight. Designed to give that same glisten that you get from natural insects or as an attractor or hot spot to trigger attacks from the predatory fish you are hunting.

Sparkle Dubbing has been pre cut and blended into approximately 2” / 50mm lengths for easy handling when dubbing. Sparkle Dubbing is 35 microns diameter. Sparkle Dubbing Black is the perfect dubbing to put hot spots on nymphs, thoraxes or bodies on your flies.

We like the Dark Brown and Deep Purple for tying Top Secret Midges.

This resin has an ultra-low viscosity paired with a fine tipped brush. It's perfect for coating bodies of small flies or as an alternative for head cement.

We use the Clear for everything from Perdigon bodies to small wingcases to covering whip finishes.  The Black is perfect for Perdigon Wingcases....no need to wait for nail polish to dry.  Prot tip: if you have a rotary vise, place a drop of Black resin on your fly as a wingcase and then turn it upside down (wingcase facing down) and cure from underneath.  Using gravity this way will halp create the perfectly shaped wingcase.  Repeat if necessary.

Features:

The Double Barrel is an innovative, modern, soft-foam popper body that makes it easy to tie the most popular popper, slider, and diver flies being used today to target various species from panfish to sailfish! It has several unique design advantages over other popper bodies and is available in a comprehensive range of sizes and colors, allowing you to tie a full spectrum of flies. The versatile foam head can be tied on with the cup facing forward to create popper flies, and can be tied on in reverse to create slider, diver, and Sneaky Pete style foam flies.

Example:

 Tie flies of all types and sizes from nymphs to Clousers to T-Bones with Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail, a tapered synthetic multi-use fly tying fiber designed to imitate typical premium-length natural bucktail. Fish-Skull Faux Bucktail fibers have the same basic diameter, gentle crinkle, and taper as natural bucktail. In appearance, it looks almost identical and has the same distinctive bucktail fly or lure action in the water. However, the fibers are not hollow (which helps your fly sink faster) and will not flare in the same way as regular bucktail while tying. This means you will need to tie with slightly different techniques to achieve the same effect. 

Every Faux Bucktail fiber is premium 6 in (152 mm) length, giving you more than twice the amount of usable fibers per tail and eliminating the headache of sorting and searching for ideal strands. Simply peel off the full length of your desired amount of fibers, trim to length, and tie them in. 

The fibers can be used in a wide range of fly or lure types. 

• Trout flies: Beautiful tapered wrapped "quill" bodies, nymph wing cases, Mayfly tails and legs. 
• Streamers: From tying typical Clouser Minnows or Deceivers right up to large, "bite-proof" Pike, Musky or Golden Dorado flies. 
• Poppers: Tie simple and durable tails on foam poppers 
• Bucktail Jigs: Tougher, longer lasting fresh and saltwater bucktail jigs. 
• Musky Bucktail Lures or dressed trebles.

Note: Faux Bucktail cuts easily, but like most other synthetic materials can be hard on your nice scissors. Use serrated heavy duty scissors designed for synthetics (or an old pair you don't mind abusing). 

Example:

Many fly tyers love tying with Stripped Quills. Perfect Quills are a synthetic alternative, which provides the perfect quill every time which has a premarked black edging and looks natural. Natural Quills can be difficult to get hold of and the quality can be inconsistent. Natural Quills are often brittle and hard to use – you may have tried soaking them and experienced this first hand? No longer. Here you have Perfect Quills. 

Perfect Quills have been developed in two versions – True Colors and Transparent.  For the transparent quill anything tied below the Stripped Quill shows through, from threads to tinsels to a fluorescent thread.

Size small best for hook size #12 and below.

There are 25 quills per pack. Each quill is 100mm in length (you can get 2 flies per quill depending on your fly size.

We recommend a layer of clear Thin UV Resin over the quill.
