Description

Uses
Patterns and Tying Techniques - Typically, a flat diamond braid is used as a body material. It can be wrapped over a light thread base to create slim, durable bodies for streamers, tube flies, steelhead flies, and saltwater patterns. Wrapped over a tapered thread base, it makes for an excellent body material for baitfish patterns. It can be picked out to create a flashy tail, such as on Gotcha Shrimp Patterns. It is also a great material for use as a flashback for nymphs.
