Hedron Flashabou Original Fly Tying Material & Metallic Tinsel Flash Skirt – Black | Circle B Tackle

Overview

Hedron Flashabou Original from Circle B Tackle is a versatile metallic flash material that elevates both fly tying and lure design. Each package contains approximately 1700 strands, offering ample material at a compact 1/69" width and 10" length per bundle. The black variant provides a deep, reflective finish that complements a wide range of patterns and water conditions.

Durability and Shine

Crafted from premium Mylar, Hedron Flashabou maintains its brightness and structure even in demanding conditions. The strands resist fraying and retain a stable, glossy look, helping your flies and lures maintain a lively appearance after multiple casts or trolling runs. The translucent, scale-like underwater sparkle adds a natural flash that draws attention without overwhelming the overall pattern.

Skirt Advantage and Material Motion

The Flashabou skirt component delivers a life-like, translucent glow to offshore lures. This skirting is designed to be durable and longer-lasting than traditional rubber skirts, with a flexible texture that moves with current and water flow, enhancing the lure’s presence in the water column.
