TIEMCO Hairline Flat Diamond Braid #320 Route Beer – Shimmering Fly Ties

Enhance streamer bodies with TIEMCO Hairline Flat Diamond Braid

TIEMCO Hairline Flat Diamond Braid in color #320 Route Beer delivers a soft, shimmering braid that lays flat against the shank, making it easy to wrap around and form a reflective body. The flat knit design helps light catch the material from multiple angles, producing a subtle, water-ready glow as you cast and retrieve.

The earthy Route Beer shade blends with natural tones while adding a touch of brightness that catches the eye without overpowering the fly. The four-yard quantity provides ample material to tie a range of patterns, from bold streamers to mid-sized builds that need a flat, reflective backbone.

Ideal for larger streamer bodies, this braid adds dimension without bulk. It can also be used in other flat-body applications, where a smooth wrap and consistent shimmer matter. For smaller patterns or wet flies, pair with a narrow mini flat fly braid to maintain a slim, clean profile.

Key benefits at a glance:

• Flat, wrap-friendly construction lowers bulk and supports clean shaping
• Shimmering finish enhances visibility with a natural, water-friendly glow
• Versatile for large streamer bodies and compatible with smaller patterns
• Earthy Root Beer color pairs with many hues and natural tones

How to use: anchor the braid end, then wrap toward the bend to build a flat body. Layer as needed and trim with careful tension. The material responds to gentle handling, helping you achieve a smooth silhouette. You can also combine with other fibers or UV threads to vary texture and shine.

Additional tying tips

• Start with a light wrap to secure the end, then work forward to avoid snagging
• Use a steady, even tension to keep the wrap uniform
• Experiment with layering for depth and reflective contrast
