At first glance Straggle String UV may seem like many of the other “fritz” type tying materials... Take a closer look though and you will find Straggle String UV is a carefully developed fly tying material and NOT just another off the peg product poached from the textiles trade.
-
The fine core means really slim bodies are possible. Try SF3300 on a curved hook for a fantastic bloodworm pattern or any of the natural colours under a shellback for a superb (and very quick to tie) shrimp.
-
Lower fibre density coupled with fine core makes great thoraxes for bead head flies.
-
The fine core absorbs much less water than standard fritz meaning Straggle String UV can be used in dry fly patterns
-
Finer material means smaller flies. Sizes 16, 18, and 20 can easily be tied.
-
The wide range of natural colours is great for imitating the natural invertebrates that make up fishes’ diet.
