The material stretches and compresses as thread or wire is applied, letting you contour shellbacks, wing cases, and body segments. This makes it a natural choice for scuds, sowbugs, nymph wing cases, and segmented crayfish or shrimp patterns that are popular in bass and saltwater fly tying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in four patterns and thirty colors for hatch-matching versatility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable, easy to use, with a paper backing that aids clean cuts and precise application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of transparency, texture, and subtle sheen helps bring insect patterns to life on the water.
