What is Wapsi Polypropylene Floating Yarn?
Polypropylene is one of the best synthetic materials available when maximum flotation is required. Unlike many other fibres, it absorbs virtually no water, allowing flies to retain their buoyancy throughout long fishing sessions. The yarn can easily be separated into smaller bundles, giving fly tiers complete control over the thickness and visibility of parachute posts, floating indicators and other buoyant fly components.

FLYFISHING.BG RECOMMENDSUse only the amount of yarn needed for the hook size you're tying. A smaller, more compact post creates a cleaner fly profile, improves casting performance and remains highly visible on the water without adding unnecessary bulk. |
