Small Crystal Hackle
Following the huge success of Medium Crystal Hackle – this smaller sized 5mm version is even more versatile than the original. It’s great for a wide range of uses from lures to nymphs and wet flies. You can do almost anything with it!!
Stuart Smitham (verified owner) –
’ve hunted for over four years for a suitable Brown synthetic hackle. Having had the idea of producing a Brown shade rejected by Phil Varney at Veniards, I was lost.
I tie a range of synthetic patterns simple called Flash Stragglers, because of their make up. I have Black, Red, Orange, Green, Yellow & Grey. I wanted the Brown colour to add variety to the range and struck out.
Step up Ian and Flybox I was browsing the Twitter, when Flybox popped on. Chuffed and impressed I then saw lots within the range that I wanted, then found “Small Crystal Hackle”.
This is a great find. Nice fibres that add flash and bounce to my patterns. Plus the core is strong enough to take tight winding, without pulling out and falling apart. You get a lot of hackle for money, which is a bonus for the money conscious tyer on a budget.
Great product Flybox. Keep em coming!
Best regards
