Raffia Bast Material

This synthetic bast material can be used for many different dry fly and nymph patterns. Besides spents, caddis flies are the most famous application – with just a few steps, you finish this quick fly: Create a dubbing body (CDC works great), then tie in the Raffia as wings and finish it with a hackle.
For nymphs and scuds you can cut the material in any shape and size to form the back. Ripping it with a thread will add more stability and a layer of head cement reveals a natural glossy look.
This Raffia won't suck water and is extremely durable. You can fold it out and decide how thick you want the layer to be. Completely unfolded it has a semi-tranparent appearal and if needed, it can be coloured or shaded with Fly Pens.

Length: ca. 5 m
