Hedron Flashabou Original: Lifelike Shine for Fly Tying and Offshore Lure Skirts

Hedron Flashabou Original brings together soft Mylar strands with a brilliant reflective surface to deliver a watercraft-friendly shimmer that catches the eye during casts, retrieves, and slow rolls. The material feels smooth to work with, yet holds its shape and sparkle through a day on the water, helping your patterns show movement and depth in different conditions.

Each package contains approximately 1700 strands, with a compact width of 1/69 inch and a length of 10 inches. The slender profile makes it easy to wind into delicate fly-thin bodies or build bolder skirted profiles for lures, while still maintaining a translucent shine that resembles real underwater glints.
