What is Hends Flashback?
Hends Flashback is a fly-tying material developed to add a subtle reflective effect to nymphs and other subsurface patterns. It is most commonly used for shellbacks and wing cases, producing the natural flash often seen on the bodies of aquatic insects beneath the water's surface.
The material is thin enough to avoid adding unnecessary bulk while working perfectly with dubbing, Shellback, Stretch Back, UV resin and many other fly-tying materials. This versatility makes it equally suitable for traditional fly patterns and modern competition nymphs.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSUse Hends Flashback as the final layer over the body of your nymph and secure it with a thin coat of UV resin. This creates a durable, translucent shellback with a natural pearlescent flash that remains visible even after repeated catches. |
