I saw this and was impressed with the action.

I tested this material out and it is very "sticky" as in it wraps up in hooks and around things very easily. The material isn't slick, almost tacky, I think it's nylon. In my application it wasn't a go, too bad too because I loved the white and chart. Probably need to test it on what you are going to put it on.

That is what I was afraid of. I might get some and try it on a smaller setup (double 8s) with only one hook and make sure it is shrink wrapped in place. I just love the color options and the action it has.

It was even getting caught in the bottom of the bends in the trebles. Might want to cover that up as well. In the end it wasn't worth all the hassle, but yeah, I was really looking forward to a white option since it's a holy grail for flash.

Its the kind of material you would want to use sparingly, mixed in or on top of other material like deertials. It would probably work better in a streamer or muskie fly where your doing more pulling and do not have blades pulsating the materials. You can also try using shorter lenghts where you only have one treble hook on bottom of a bucktail.
