What is F&M Mylar Tubing Pearl?
F&M Mylar Tubing Pearl is a hollow braided tube made from fine metallised Mylar fibres with a pearlescent finish. It can be used in its natural round shape or flattened to create a wide variety of body profiles, making it suitable for many modern fly patterns.
The pearl finish reflects light softly and naturally, producing the subtle shimmer of fish scales rather than an overly bright flash. This makes it an excellent choice for realistic baitfish imitations, streamers and predator patterns where a lifelike appearance is essential. It also combines perfectly with Flash materials, synthetic fibres and UV resins to create durable, highly effective flies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSSelect the tubing size according to the profile you want to achieve. S (2 mm) is ideal for small streamers and nymphs, M (4 mm) is the most versatile option for baitfish patterns, while L (8 mm) is perfect for large pike and saltwater flies. Adding a small amount of Flash or UV Angel Hair inside the tubing creates an even more realistic baitfish appearance. |
