This flash brings life to any fly you work it into, and with a fused end, things are always nice and neat.

Comparisons
Another flash material that has the convenience of fused ends is Hareline’s Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe. Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe has an identical construction, but instead of having a range of colors, it’s made in solid colors. The solid color makeup of Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe works very well when tying bodies on a fly, while the Ice Dub Minnow Back Shimmer Fringe is a bit better for imitating the darker back found on most baitfish. Both of these materials are solid fish-catching options, so the choice will depend on the effect that you’re after.
