Hareline Flashabou Original is the classic mylar flash material for fly tying, engineered to add bright, lifelike shimmer to streamers, nymph bodies and wings. This Hedron synthetic flash works in both freshwater and saltwater patterns to increase visibility and trigger strikes in low-light or clear-water conditions. Each pack contains approximately 1,700 strands, each roughly 1/69 inch wide and 10 inches long, providing long, durable fibers that resist fraying and won’t absorb water. Key Features Original Mylar Flash: Flat, reflective mylar strands produce high-intensity flash for baitfish and attractor patterns. Versatile Use: Excellent for streamers, pike flies, nymph ribbing, wings, underbodies, and saltwater imitations. Large Color Range: Available in metallics, pearls and fluorescent hues to match local forage. Pack Details: Approximately 1,700 strands per pack; strand dimensions ~1/69 inch (width) × 10 inches (length). Durable & Water-Resistant: Resists fraying and stays effective through repeated use. Fly tyers choose Hareline Flashabou Original for consistent flash, easy handling, and a broad palette of colors. Flashabou layers well and can replace traditional mylar tinsel where a slimmer, more flexible flash is desired. It ties cleanly with standard tying thread and adhesives and is compatible with UV resins and epoxies for durable heads and bodies. Hedge your patterns with subtle pearlescent tones or bold fluorescent accents depending on target species and water conditions.
