Tying up some backcountry flies with a little extra sparkle to fool redfish or imitating densely packed schools of bay anchovies on a New England beach, no matter what you’re whipping up, Enrico Puglisi’s Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers make it nice and easy. A versatile synthetic, Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers consist of a blend of EP Fibers with EP Sparkle blended in. This combination adds just enough flash to your patterns whenever you need something to match the hatch or catch the fish’s attention. Super durable and anti-absorbent, this material can stand up to long days on the water and it doesn’t retain water, making it a dream to cast. Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers are approximately 9” long, which allows you to match most sizes of forage, and they’re available in a ton of different colors to ensure you can always find what you need. From freshwater streamer imitations to large saltwater minnows, crabs, shrimp, and more, Enrico Puglisi’s Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers are a favorite for a ton of different patterns.
Uses
Enrico Puglisi’si Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers are a very versatile material. You can use these fibers to craft minnow bodies, build bulky heads a la Jonny King’s Kinky Muddler, tie crab bodies, make excellent shrimp bodies, and they can also be spun into dubbing loops or used to make custom brushes. A great choice for both fresh and saltwater applications, these fibers are easy to use and can be worked into a range of different applications.
Comparisons
While there are many different synthetics on the market, a solid comparison is the classic EP Fibers. EP Fibers have a very similar construction to the Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers, but they don’t have any flash, which makes them a better choice for spooky fish. On the other hand, if you’re looking to add some flash into your flies, then the Enrico Puglisi Sculpt-A-Fly Fibers are a better material.
