It is made up of fine synthetic fibers that are tightly bundled together and can be used in a variety of ways to create a wide range of fly patterns. One of the key benefits of angel hair is its versatility. It can be used to create a variety of fly patterns, including streamers, nymphs, and dry flies. It is also commonly used as a tail material, adding a subtle shimmer to flies.
Angel hair is incredibly easy to work with. It can be tied in as a single strand or layered to create a more substantial body or wing. It can be trimmed to any length and is available in a wide range of colors, from natural hues to bright and vibrant shades. Another advantage of angel hair is its durability. The synthetic fibers are resistant to fraying and can withstand repeated casting and retrieval. This makes it a great choice for flies that will see a lot of use on the water.
Angel hair is also incredibly versatile when it comes to creating realistic fly patterns. It can be mixed with other materials, such as dubbing or flash material, to create a more complex and lifelike appearance. It can also be used to create a wide range of baitfish and shrimp imitations, making it a popular choice for saltwater fly fishing.
