Hareline Fly Tying 6mm Fly Foam - Yellow | High Float for Bass

Elevate Your Fly Ties with 6mm Fly Foam

Hareline 6mm Fly Foam is a thick closed-cell foam designed to deliver strong buoyancy for surface patterns that need to ride high on the water. The vivid yellow shade adds visibility and helps your patterns stand out against water and light conditions, making it easier to track on sunny days or flowing currents.

Key benefits at a glance

• 6mm thickness creates a sturdy, buoyant body that resists collapsing under casting pressure.
• Maximum flotation supports floating bass patterns and terrestrials, improving on-water profile.
• Durable foam stands up to repeated cast-and-retrieve cycles and rough handling in the field.
• Ideal for bass and terrestrial designs, offering a reliable base for buoyant heads and bodies.
• Heritage: Hareline Dubbin began in 1981 in Monroe, Oregon, growing from a kitchen-stove operation to a 45,000 sq ft facility with thousands of tying products.

Practical uses in the workshop

When you’re tying floating poppers, buoyant ants, or water-borne nymphs, this 6mm foam provides a robust core that holds shape while you wrap thread and add trim. The closed-cell structure minimizes water absorption, helping your flies retain buoyancy longer between retrieves.

Working with the foam

• Cut strips or shape the foam into heads, bodies, or buoyant appendages for tailored flotation and silhouette.
• Pair with compatible adhesives to create a durable, water-resistant finish that stays buoyant in fresh or saltwater.
• Experiment with color contrasts and layering to boost visibility under varied light and water conditions.

Who will benefit

Tiers targeting bass and interested in floating patterns may appreciate the material’s stiffness, color visibility, and easy handling. The yellow hue adds a bright, eye-catching option to your fly box without sacrificing buoyancy.
