What is Hends Flat Pearl Tubing?
Hends Flat Pearl Tubing is a braided Mylar tubing with a flattened profile that makes it easy to create wide, smooth and evenly shaped fly bodies. Its pearlescent finish reflects light softly, producing a natural fish-scale effect without excessive metallic flash.
The material can be used on its own or over a base of synthetic fibres, Flash materials or natural hair. With its generous 6 mm width, it is particularly well suited for larger streamers and baitfish patterns where additional body volume and a realistic profile are desired.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSFor the most lifelike baitfish appearance, place a thin layer of pearl Flash or light synthetic fibres beneath Hends Flat Pearl Tubing. Finish the body with a light coat of UV resin to enhance the depth, durability and realistic fish-scale effect, especially on larger streamers and predator patterns. |
