Hareline Flashabou Original - Black #6912

Hareline Flashabou Original is a versatile metallic tinsel designed specifically for fly tying. This reflective synthetic fiber adds intense flash to streamer bodies, wings, tails and ribbing, increasing visibility and trigger strikes in both freshwater and saltwater patterns. Fly tyers trust Hareline Flashabou for consistent color, lively action, and easy use when building streamers, saltwater flies, and nymphs.

Key Features

• Reflective Flash: Highly reflective mylar-like tinsel that creates attractive flashes underwater.
• Fine Strand Construction: Thin, flexible strands (typically ~1/69" or 1/64") that lay naturally for realistic movement.
• Wide Color Range: Available in many colors and sizes (standard and magnum) to match natural and gamefish-preferred palettes.

Designed for both beginner and experienced tyers, Hareline Flashabou bonds easily to thread wraps and can be used as a mylar tinsel replacement for bodies and ribs. The fine, marabou-like action of bundled strands helps produce lifelike movement on the hook and improves lure profile without adding bulk. Use Flashabou with common accessories like beads, wires, and synthetic dubbing — it pairs well with freshwater hooks for trout and bass and larger saltwater streamers targeting species like stripers and bonefish.
