Snip the ends of the Flashabou so that all the strands are not of the exact same length. This will give even more flash with each strip and also be more natural (the flash of baitfish is rarely uniform). Flashabou can also be used as body material. Select 6 to 8 strands and wrap the hook shank evenly. Using Flashabou as body material opens up a wide range of colors yet doesn't add too much bulk.

Flashabou is an essential material in
offshore and bluewater flies!

This material combines the flash of tinsel and the action of marabou. It's strong, flows and swims in water with action that drives game fish wild! Excellent in all types of flies from large herring, bunker and mackerel patterns to smaller streamers, naturals, clousers and jiggy flies. Also great in fresh water flies such as patterns for bass, pike, muskie and steelhead.

Available in regular tinsel and pearlescent style!
