Hareline Flashabou Original - Sea Foam #6929

Hareline Flashabou Original is a classic mylar flash material for fly tying that adds realistic shimmer and lifelike movement to streamers, nymphs and saltwater patterns. Each pack contains approximately 1,700 thin mylar strands that measure about 1/69 inch wide and 10 inch long, giving predictable body coverage and bright flash where you need it. Sold through Hareline Dubbin and other retailers, Flashabou is ideal when you want durable, water-resistant flash that holds up pattern after pattern.

Key Features

• Reflective Mylar: Flat, iridescent strands create high-contrast flash and subtle movement like marabou.
• Pack Quantity: Approximately 1,700 strands per pack for multiple flies and consistent results.
• Strand Size: Strands roughly 1/69 inch wide by 10 inch long—thin enough for delicate work, long enough for streamers.
• Durability: Resists fraying and does not absorb water, so tied flies keep their profile and flash longer.
• Color Selection: Wide range of metallics, pearl tones and bright colors suited for freshwater and saltwater tying.

Whether you're tying baitfish streamers, saltwater patterns, or small nymphs, Hareline Flashabou gives the flash and scale impression that triggers strikes. Use it for wings, tails, underbodies, ribbing or wingcases—it pairs well with threads, beads and other synthetic fibers. Fly tiers choose Flashabou for its ease of use and consistent strand size, making color matching and layering predictable.
