Krystal Flash Chenille 

« Back to Glossary Index

Hareline Krystal Flash Chenille is a synthetic chenille made with Krystal Flash fibers, known for adding a brilliant sparkle and subtle movement to fly bodies. The material is easy to work with, allowing for quick wrapping on flies and jigs to create an attractive, fish-catching effect. The Krystal Flash fibers are shorter than those in Cactus Chenille, making it ideal for adding a fine, reflective shine without being overly bulky.

This chenille is available in a variety of colors, offering a versatile selection for imitating different types of forage. Whether you are tying streamers, leeches, or salmon flies, Krystal Flash Chenille provides just the right amount of flash and movement. Its medium and standard sizes make it suitable for both small and large flies, offering the flexibility to match various prey species in different waters.

Krystal Flash Chenille is commonly used to quickly add sparkle to the body, thorax, or head of a fly. It is perfect for creating flash in patterns such as streamers, shrimp, leeches, and even for use in Gurgler bodies. The chenille works well in a range of fly types, including Schminnows for saltwater species or Flash Buggers for trout, making it a staple material for fly tiers seeking a quick and effective way to incorporate flash and movement. Each package contains 3 yards of material, providing ample length for multiple flies.
