Recently I got sent some of this product from Hends as a new addition to there ever expanding range of tying materials. On first glance it dose catch the eye with its range of colours, its size and its durability. I have been mucking around with it lately and I have discovered that it is a fantastic material to have in any collection, it is very versatile and can be used for micro nymphs, ribbing, bodies, thoraxes thorax covers and pretty much anywhere you want to stick it on the fly. It is very strong for such light chenille and the UV centers in the brighter colours give thoraxes on nymphs a new life and good targets for fish. 
When tying small nymphs like Montana's it can be tricky enough when you get down to the sizes of 14-18, but thankfully with this product which is only 1mm thick you can tie these classic nymphs in such small sizes. I also have ties up some micro streamers as seen on the top picture, this is ties on a size 14 and they look great with the chenille on the body. Even tying wets and spiders it gives the body a lovely suttle sparkle and is strong enough not to need a rib. I would recommend this product for all fly tyers and don't be afraid to experiment and use it where ever you want it in your flies. If you would like to find this material then just click on the picture of our shop or logo to the right and look it up
