Hends Long Hair

Long Natural Hair for Large Streamers with Outstanding Movement

Hends Long Hair is a premium natural material featuring long, soft fibres developed primarily for tying large streamers and predator flies. Thanks to its exceptional fibre length and lifelike movement in the water, it creates an incredibly natural swimming action that continues to work even during the slowest retrieve.

Unlike many other natural furs, Long Hair absorbs very little water. This allows fly tyers to create large, full-bodied flies that remain lightweight, easy to cast and highly mobile throughout the retrieve.

What is Hends Long Hair?

Hends Long Hair is a premium natural fly tying material featuring exceptionally long, soft fibres that allow fly tyers to create realistic baitfish profiles and large predator patterns with outstanding movement.

The fibres are highly mobile and respond to even the slightest current or strip, producing a lifelike swimming action that makes the material particularly effective for streamers and baitfish imitations.

Available in a wide range of natural, fluorescent and highly visible colours, Long Hair can easily be blended to create smooth colour transitions and realistic silhouettes in modern predator flies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDATION Long Hair is an excellent choice whenever maximum movement is more important than maximum bulk. It performs exceptionally well when combined with a few strands of Krystal Flash, Angel Hair, Flashabou or similar flash materials that imitate the reflective scales of baitfish. For the most natural appearance, blend two or three complementary colours within the same streamer to create subtle colour transitions and additional depth.

Typical Applications

Long Hair is widely used in modern streamer patterns for pike, European taimen (Hucho hucho) and trophy trout. Its outstanding movement makes it ideal for imitating minnows, dace, perch and many other forage fish. It is equally popular for saltwater baitfish patterns where a large profile, low water absorption and natural movement are essential.
