Hends Angel Hair – iridescent synthetic material for fly tying
Hends Angel Hair is a fine synthetic fly-tying material with a pronounced iridescent effect that gives flies a lively, natural-looking sheen. In the water it is extremely mobile and reacts even to minimal current, significantly increasing a fly’s attractiveness to fish.
Iridescence means that the material changes its reflections depending on the light and viewing angle – similar to fish scales or aquatic insects below the surface. This effect makes flies look more “alive” and visible, even in poor light conditions.
- Iridescent fibers – change reflections with light and movement
- Exceptional movement in water – works even on a slow retrieve
- Does not absorb water – the fly does not gain weight
- Very fine material – easy to blend with natural fibers
- Wide color range – available as variants of a single product
Applications
- streamers – full bodies or wings
- tags on wet flies and nymphs
- accent material combined with natural fibers
- blends with dubbing, feathers, and hair
Even a small amount of Angel Hair can significantly increase a fly’s effectiveness. It is an ideal choice for tiers who want to add movement, flash, and a modern look to their patterns without losing natural appeal.
