Rubber legs have found their way into numerous fly patterns and their application nowadays reaches far beyond the likes of 'Chernobyl Ants' or big stonefly nymphs. Not very suprising, given the fact that theses soft and highly mobile rubber strands imitate legs better than any other material around. Even streamers and poppers benefit from the lively underwater action rubber legs unfold during line strips and pauses.
Wapsi Round Rubber has a round crossection which beyond durability also adds more mobility compared to flat rubber legs. Also suitable for tying segmented fly bodies.
Tip: Simply tie overhand knots into the material to create realistic leg joints.
Founded in Iowa in 1945, Wapsi is one of the most traditional companies for fly tying materials. The beginnings were small and local, but nowadays, this family-owned business offers almost everything a fly tyer's heart desires. From various feathers and furs to rubber legs, wires, and much more. A special feature is also the practical solutions for storing tying threads and the well-thought-out accessories. Despite the high quality of materials, Wapsi has remained true to itself and offers all products at extremely fair prices.
