UV Galaxy Mop Chenille

It's a good material. I don't grab for it often though. Would be good to use in high or stained water I guess. I like the more natural looking stuff.

Good product. A little thinner than other brands for mop chenille, but furling it will make a nice fly. (I furl the chenille on all my mop flies.)

I bought a microfiber chenille car wash mitt (chartreuse), Cascade Crest mop chenille in worm brown and Hareline UV mop chenille both styles. The car wash mitt is much denser (60 mg per inch @ 6 mm diameter) – you can feel the difference. Cascade Crest is next at (50 mg per inch @ 5 mm diameter). The Hareline mop chenille is the least dense (40 mg per inch @ 4.5 mm diameter). All have great action in water. I went to 3 stores to find the car wash mitt. What a pain! Both Cascade and Hareline offer a huge selection of colors and I can cut any length that I want. Length is critical as the length of the “fingers” on the car wash mitt was only 1.25 inches – very short for my preferred mop fly patterns. Two-inch length gives a much better wiggle on the hook. I like the Hareline "unmottled" colors better except for gray and olive. I prefer Cascade Crest over both Hareline and the car wash mitt. Of course, the real test is whether the fish notice any difference. More on that latter . . .
