Baetis Lateral Scale Flashabou Legs

Elevate your fly tying to a new level of realism with the BAETIS Lateral Scale Flashabou Legs. This premium fly tying material is engineered for the discerning angler who understands that subtle details make all the difference. Designed to mimic the natural, iridescent shimmer of a baitfish´s flank, this material will bring your fly patterns to life and provoke aggressive strikes from even the most cautious predatory fish.

The standout feature of this product is its unique and incredibly realistic lateral scale pattern. Unlike single-color or holographic flash materials, the BAETIS Lateral Scale Flashabou incorporates a printed design that perfectly replicates the look of fish scales. As your fly moves through the water, this material catches and reflects light in a broken, multi-toned sequence, creating a dynamic and lifelike effect that fish find irresistible. This visual trigger is key to fooling educated predators in both fresh and saltwater environments.

Crafted for maximum action, the material possesses the signature movement that has made Flashabou a staple on tying benches worldwide. The fine, supple fibers pulsate and breathe with every strip, pause, or current, adding a seductive swimming action that suggests a living creature. Whether you are tying a large, articulated streamer that needs to push water or a sleek baitfish pattern that requires subtle motion, these fibers provide unparalleled performance without adding unnecessary bulk. This ensures your flies cast well and achieve a natural profile in the water.

Ideal for mounting patterns of saltwater flies and streamers among others.

About 30 cm long.

The versatility of the BAETIS Lateral Scale Flashabou Legs is exceptional. The generous length of the fibers makes them perfect for large predator patterns targeting species like pike, musky, bass, and peacock bass. In the salt, they are an essential component for creating effective flies for tarpon, snook, jacks, tuna, and barracuda. Use them as a full wing or tail, mix them into bucktail or other synthetics to add a hint of flash, or wrap them to create vibrant, durable, and incredibly attractive bodies. Their application as "legs" on shrimp or crab patterns also adds a new dimension of movement and visibility.
