Solid and Krystal Tinsel Chenille from Hareline combines krystal tinsel and rayon fibers to create a unique shimmer, making it ideal for buggers, stoneflies, steelhead patterns, and any fly that requires extra glimmer. Approximately 1/4″ wide, this medium-sized chenille offers impressive flash while remaining suitable for smaller buggers, nymphs, and steelhead patterns.
Hareline’s Solid Tinsel and Krystal Pearl Chenilles enhance visibility in the water, allowing for a streamlined profile on buggers, stones, leeches, and saltwater patterns. This durable and easy-to-work-with chenille is available in a wide range of bold and natural colors, making it perfect for matching the hatch or creating eye-catching attractor patterns. It excels in both saltwater and freshwater applications, effectively crafting flashy bodies on streamers, shrimp, and bass bugs like the Gurgler. It is a reliable choice for targeting smallmouth bass or selective bonefish. It’s also used for palmering flashy bodies on Woolly Buggers, streamers, larger nymphs, and saltwater forage, Solid Tinsel Chenille simplifies the fly-tying process while enhancing the overall appearance of any fly. When compared to Estaz, Tinsel Chenille offers a more uniform texture and slightly thinner diameter, making it preferable for smaller flies or those seeking a less “buggy” look. One of the most popular patterns that showcases this material is the Crystal Bugger, demonstrating its versatility across various fly designs.
