WHAT IS STRAGGLE STRING UV?
At first glance Straggle String UV may seem like many of the other “fritz” type tying materials… Take a closer look though and you will find Straggle String UV is a carefully developed fly tying material and NOT just another off the peg product poached from the textiles trade.
A FEW FACTS ABOUT STRAGGLE STRING UV
Finer core than typical “fritz” type materials
Widest range of natural fly tying colours available
Colours chosen by and dyed by the Semper Fli team
Coded colours to integrate with the Semper Fli dubbing system
Reduced fibre density (less like a blob more like legs or a hackle)
Reflective/refractive fibres provide insect-like iridescence
Subtle UV properties give the impression of life-like movement
WHAT CAN STRAGGLE STRING UV BE USED FOR?
The fact is it’s really up to you… but here are a few tips and tricks from the Semper Fli team to get you started.
The fine core means really slim bodies are possible. Try SF3300 on a curved hook for a fantastic bloodworm pattern or any of the natural colours under a shellback for a superb (and very quick to tie) shrimp.
Lower fibre density coupled with fine core makes great thoraxes for bead head flies.
The fine core absorbs much less water than standard fritz meaning Straggle String UV can be used in dry fly patterns
Finer material means smaller flies. Sizes 16, 18, and 20 can easily be tied.
The wide range of natural colours is great for imitating the natural invertebrates that make up fishes’ diet
