What is Textreme Body Fly Pearl?
Textreme Body Fly Pearl is a flat pearlescent body material reinforced with two ultra-fine nylon monofilament strands. This construction provides excellent durability while maintaining an extremely slim profile, making it possible to create perfectly smooth and refined fly bodies.
The pearlescent finish reflects light naturally, imitating the appearance of air bubbles, translucent insect exoskeletons and the subtle sheen found on many aquatic insects. It can be used on its own or combined with natural and synthetic materials to create a wide variety of colour effects and realistic patterns.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSFor the brightest pearlescent effect, use Textreme Body Fly Pearl over a light-coloured thread base and finish the body with a thin coat of UV resin. This creates a smooth, durable and highly reflective body that performs exceptionally well on Perdigon nymphs, emergers and slim wet flies. |
