Hareline Dubbin Cactus Chenille is a Mylar-based material designed to create spiky, shiny bodies and heads on flies. It resembles miniature tinsel garland, offering a variety of vibrant color options. This chenille is known for its durability and ease of use, making it a popular choice among fly tyers. Each package contains enough material to tie multiple flies, making it a cost-effective option for many patterns.
Cactus Chenille is similar to polar chenille but with shorter fibers. This difference results in less undulation underwater, while still providing a good amount of flash and texture. Its loose weave and large diameter are akin to ice chenille, but the addition of pearlescent fibers gives it a distinctive sparkle. This material is highly effective in attracting fish with its combination of color, flash, and subtle movement.
Cactus Chenille is primarily used for wrapping bodies or heads on streamers, salmon, steelhead, bass, and pike flies. It works well for creating large, flashy patterns that need a durable and eye-catching body. Whether you’re tying large trout streamers or bass flies, Cactus Chenille provides both color and action in the water. Each package includes 3 yards of material, offering plenty of length for multiple flies.
