I've been looking for a way to tie a Pharate caddis that is faster and easier than a LaFontaine deep sparkle pupa. Antron in a dubbing loop is as much work as a LaFontaine and didn't give me the effect I was looking for. When I found Straggle String on your web site l tried it and was amazed at the results. Not only did it give me the sparkle I was looking but the color contrast in the string makes a perfect rib. When wet it blends with the dubbing material to look more natural than wire or tinsel. The only problem I had was the string tends to pull off the back of a curved hook. To correct that I dubbed a tighter body and added a turn to the twist of the string and pulled it tighter into the dubbing. As a result the sparkle material was shortened slightly and took some of the flow out of the sparkle material. A 5 or 6 mm length would be perfect? Fishing results have been positive with green or tan with contrasting ribs. Over dressing is a common problem and I think Straggle String addresses the problem in a positive way. Thank you Semperfli and J.S.
This stuff is really quite fabulous... Easy to use and work with. Forms really nice bodies on flies doing little more than simply wrapping it around a hook. It comes in a plethora of colors that'll make "matching the hatch" relatively easy. It also takes color markers nicely to ensure color matching of specific insects both dry and wet. Plus, the UV properties are like "icing on a cake" adding in that little bit of extra flash and fish catching goodness.
This stuff is not only versatile but incredibly durable. Comes in a number of colors, has UV properties and is easily comparable to Straggle Legs, I personally did not notice much difference in the length of the fibers between the Straggle String and Straggle Legs. As always Semperfli leaves nothing left to be desired, amazing product!
I BOUGHT THE NATURALS COLLECTION AND THE SPOOLED OLIVE,THE COLORS ARE THE BEST I HAVE SEEN AND THE UV SPARKLE ADDS THAT LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA..PERFECT FOR SMALL NYMPH BODIES..I HOPE THEY OFFER THE GRAY COLOR IN THE LARGER SPOOL IN THE FUTURE..THANKS SEMPERFLI AND JSTOCKARD..
