Few flash materials are as easy to work with as Hareline’s Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe. With ends that are fused together, Shimmer Fringe keeps everything nice and tidy, while a thin Ice Dub construction sheds water easily and can be used to tie wings, tails, and more. Not only is this flash easy to work with, but it provides an excellent shine and glitter in the water that’s sure to entice fish. Hareline makes their Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe in a range of colors, so whether you’re imitating small bay anchovies with a Surf Candy style fly or tying something nice and bright for winter steel, there’s an option for it all.
Uses
From tying in tails and wings on streamers to working it into a large dubbing loop or just adding a slight glimmer of flash to your flies, Hareline’s Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe is a darn versatile material. This flash brings life to any fly you work it into, and with a fused end, things are always nice and neat.
Comparisons
There are many flash materials out there, but what sets Hareline’s Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe apart from the rest is that the ends are fused together instead of being loosely bagged. If you’re looking for that convenience, then Hareline’s Ice Dub Minnow Back Shimmer Fringe is another great choice. This material is also made from Ice Dub and sports the fused ends for ease of use. The main difference is that Ice Dub Minnow Back Shimmer Fringe is made with a few different colors mixed into one while Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe is a solid color. Both of these flashes are great options in fresh and saltwater flies, so the choice will ultimately depend on your desired effect.
