What is Hareline Embossed Flashback Pearl?
Hareline Embossed Flashback Pearl is an embossed synthetic material developed to create highly realistic shellbacks and wing cases on nymphs and other subsurface fly patterns.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSFor the most realistic results, apply Hareline Embossed Flashback Pearl over a body made from natural dubbing or coloured tying thread and finish it with a thin coat of UV resin. This preserves the embossed texture while enhancing the pearlescent effect, creating shellbacks with exceptional depth and a natural underwater appearance. |
