Hareline Flashabou Original – Gunmetal #6916

The Hareline Flashabou Original is a metallic flash fly-tying material designed to add lifelike shimmer and movement to streamers, saltwater flies, and nymphs. Hareline’s Flashabou mimics fish scales with limp mylar strands — each pack contains approximately 1700 strands measuring about 1/69″ wide and 10″ long — delivering bright reflectivity and natural motion to wings, tails and bodies.

Key Features

• Original Metallic Flash: Limp mylar strands that create high-impact flash without stiffness.
• Generous Strand Count: Approximately 1700 strands per pack, 10″ length for long, flowing wings and tails.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for streamers, pike flies, saltwater patterns, wingcases and body ribbing on nymphs.

Whether you’re tying large streamers or delicate nymphs, Hareline Flashabou gives flies a lifelike, scale-like flash that attracts predators in both fresh and saltwater. The light, compact pack is easy to store in a vest or tie station and pairs well with dubbing, tinsel, and other Hareline materials to build durable, eye-catching patterns.
