Anyone ever use Baitfish Emulator Flash? It is a Hareline product. I actually got some as a gift (in black) from a swap on another board awhile back. Have to say i love the stuf! Wondering if any of you have tried it out. Have never heard much of anything about it. The nearest tying shop to me (NetCrafters) does not carry it, so i am going to be tracking some more down.
Pros: It comes strung and runs about 3 inches in length of fibers.
---- It is not all flash material, has flat colored fibers as well
---- Also has a mix of fiber sizes, some very skinny and others fatter
Cons: Must store it carefully and straight, makes it ALOT easier to work with
---- It is all cut the same length so you have to thin it out at the ends if you want a tapered tail
I have been using it in lots of ways.... As you would any flash, a few strips down the side - As a core color to craft fur and bucktail jigs with a contrasting color over top of it - Between the upper and lower wing of clousers - Chopped up finely and mixed in with dubbing - and just plain tails.
