What is Tommi-Fly Body Stretch 6 mm Light?
Tommi-Fly Body Stretch 6 mm Light is the light colour range of the popular Body Stretch 6 mm material. Its wider profile allows fly tyers to build broad wing cases and bulky segmented bodies quickly while maintaining excellent elasticity and precise control throughout the tying process.
The lighter shades are ideal for imitating pale larvae, scuds and other lightly coloured aquatic insects. The material works perfectly on its own or in combination with dubbing, fine wire and UV resin, creating natural translucency, realistic segmentation and durable fly bodies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSThe Light colours of Tommi-Fly Body Stretch 6 mm are ideal for imitating pale larvae and lightly coloured aquatic insects. If a narrower profile is required, simply trim the material lengthwise before tying. Finish with a thin coat of UV resin to enhance translucency, highlight the segmentation and significantly improve the durability of the finished fly. |
