Description

Hedron Saltwater Flashabou is a flash material that was specifically designed for the harshest environments. At 1/16″ wide, this is the thickest and widest Flashabou that Hedron manufactures and it will stand up to the abuse of large freshwater and saltwater fish. Use it to create large profile flies, or add a few strands to each side of your streamers to get the attention of stubborn fish. Our customers will also use it for flashbacks on larger nymphs such as the copper john. Hedron Saltwater Flashabou is a versatile material that can be used for fly fishing, tying bucktails for pike and musky like the popular Double Cowgirl inline spinners, as well as large spinnerbait skirt material.

Flashabou is used for dressing flies, jigs and spinnerbaits. Perfect for wings, tails, ribbing and bodies. Use as an accent underwing on any hairwing steelhead/salmon pattern.  Used on many steelhead and (what seems like all) Alaska patterns. And great for all number of saltwater patterns and big native fly patterns too. Due to its simplicity, the strong fibers are also very well suited for clear water and waters with high fishing pressure. Tied in with a dubbing loop, you can make wonderful, voluminous collars and bodies!

Just like Flashabou original in a wider and stronger cut. Contains approximately 225 strands, 1/6″ wide by 20″ long.

This means it also makes a great flash material for trout flies, used as a flashback, or wing case on nymphs!
