What is Tommi-Fly Shiny Back & Body Light?
Tommi-Fly Shiny Back & Body Light is a versatile fly-tying material that allows you to create both realistic shellbacks and smooth fly bodies using a single material. Its flexibility enables it to conform tightly to the body of the fly, while its semi-transparent pearlescent finish creates natural depth and a subtle reflective effect.
The light colour selection is ideal for imitating pale nymphs, aquatic larvae and freshwater scuds. It combines perfectly with dubbing, Body Glass, Flashback and UV resin, allowing fly tyers to create durable and highly realistic subsurface patterns.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSUse Tommi-Fly Shiny Back & Body Light as a shellback over a dubbing or thread body and secure it with a thin coat of UV resin. This enhances the semi-transparent pearlescent effect while producing a durable, highly realistic fly pattern. |
