FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSTommi-Fly Body Stretch 4 mm is an excellent choice for tying nymphs with a natural, tapered profile. Applying more tension creates slimmer, finer segmentation, while lighter tension builds fuller bodies. Finish with a thin coat of UV resin to enhance translucency, emphasize segmentation and significantly improve durability. |
