Technical Specifications

What is Tommi-Fly Body Stretch 6 mm Dark?

Tommi-Fly Body Stretch 6 mm Dark is the dark 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 darker shades are particularly effective for imitating mature larvae, chironomids, scuds and other aquatic insects with naturally dark coloration. The material performs equally well on its own or when combined with dubbing, fine wire and UV resin to produce durable, highly realistic fly bodies.

Ideal For

• Large nymphs.
• Chironomids.
• Scuds.
• Caddis larvae.
• Stonefly nymphs.
• Realistic segmented bodies.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDS The Dark colours of Tommi-Fly Body Stretch 6 mm are ideal for larger nymphs that imitate mature larvae and naturally dark 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 segmentation, improve translucency and significantly increase the durability of the finished fly.
