Unlike standard spun egg yarn, Eggstasy is built on a core, which means you can simply tie it on like chenille. Its soft, fluffy texture allows for easy application and versatile use, whether you're tying egg flies, spawn patterns, or attractor nymphs. The fibres are also translucent, so light travels through the egg/blob. This material offers exceptional durability and color retention, ensuring your flies remain effective over time, even in challenging fishing conditions.
Please Note: Each color is photographed in its wet, slush state because the fibres undergo a 30% color change from dry to wet. Don't be put off by the material's color in the package.
