Thin Skin is a .004" thick, stretchable and transparent sheet material that has a matte finish on one side and a shiny finish on the other. It is backed with a paper backing which makes it easy to cut into strips of all sizes. When the paper is removed, the transparent sheet can easily be tied onto the fly.

The printed patterns on the Thin Skin can create an extremely realistic and/or dramatic look to the fly. Because Thin Skin stretches and compresses when thread or wire is wrapped around it, it is an ideal material to use for shellbacks on flies such as scuds or sowbugs or for wing cases on nymphs of all types. Many bass and saltwater fly tyers often use it to tie segmented crayfish and shrimp patterns.
 
About Wapsi:

Wapsi, founded in 1945 on the banks of the Wapsipinicon River in Iowa by Lacy Gee, is one of the oldest companies for fly tying materials. Originally specialising in the production of artificial flies, within three decades the family business developed into one of the largest manufacturer and wholesaler of tying materials in the United States. Today, Wapsi offers an impressive variety of products for fly tiers worldwide. The range includes a wide selection of feathers, furs, dubbings, rubber legs, wires and much more. The company's clever solutions for storing tying tools and its extensive range of accessories are outstanding. Despite the high quality, Wapsi remains true to its roots and offers all products at extremely fair prices.
