Hareline Cactus Chenille - Medium Pink #289

Hareline Cactus Chenille is a versatile fly-tying material designed to add shimmering, textured bodies to streamers, buggers and a wide range of freshwater and saltwater patterns. Produced by Hareline Dubbin, this synthetic chenille includes pearlescent fibers woven into a spiky, tinsel-like core that reflects light and provides realistic motion. Each pack contains approximately 3 yards of chenille, enough for multiple flies or repairs.

Key Features

• Pearlescent Flash: Iridescent fibers add sparkle to attract strikes in both freshwater and saltwater.
• Durable, Short Fibers: Shorter fibers resist matting and undulate less than longer chenilles for a more natural profile.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for underbodies, hollow ties, minnow bodies, buggers and specialty patterns; compatible with standard tying thread and hooks.

Fly tyers favor Hareline Cactus Chenille for its balance of flash and body-building performance. The medium and large diameters let you quickly build buggy, durable bodies that imitate baitfish, shrimp and large nymphs. Hareline’s chenille wraps easily around hook shanks and accepts ribbing, dubbing and head cement for long-lasting flies. Available in a broad palette of colors, Cactus Chenille is useful for anglers tying for both trout and saltwater species.
