What is Tommi-Fly Body Glass?
Tommi-Fly Body Glass is a specialised material developed for tying translucent fly bodies with a distinctive glass-like appearance. Once wrapped on the hook, it creates natural depth and a realistic transparent finish, making it particularly effective for imitating translucent larvae and other aquatic organisms.
The material can be used on its own or over a coloured thread or dubbing underbody. Its transparency allows the underlying colour to remain visible, opening up countless colour combinations while producing exceptionally lifelike fly bodies.
