Shiner Fibers from H2O are synthetic materials that provide a striking sheen, making them ideal for creating shimmering minnow patterns. They are suitable for both large and small streamers, easily combining with other materials to mimic baitfish in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
When selecting materials for fly tying, several factors come into play. The waviness of the fibers, known as krinkle, indicates their hollowness; hollow fibers compress more, while those that are less compressible tend to be slicker and create less bulk. Color variations in patterns, such as olive over pink or brown over gold, add versatility, while eye colors like bright orange or chartreuse enhance visual appeal. Additionally, incorporating a flash, such as a rainbow effect, can further attract fish attention.
