From tying up cicadas for a periodical emergence to adding some extra movement to your bonefish and permit patterns, Hareline’s Micro Silicone Legs can do it all. These silicone legs are “micro” sized and about half as wide and half as thick as the traditional Silicone Legs. This sizing is perfect for smaller patterns or anytime that you want to add a subtle set of rubber legs without any extra bulk. Available in a wide variety of different color schemes, Hareline’s Micro Silicone Legs add life to both fresh and saltwater patterns. Durable and super easy to work with, these Silicone Legs will enhance any pattern you add them to.
Uses
Hareline’s Micro Silicone Legs are an excellent addition whenever you need to add life to your flies. Although these legs are a great choice for smaller flies, they can be worked into flies of just about any size. Whether you’re looking to add legs to a terrestrial, a shrimp, add some extra movement to a streamer, build a crayfish, or bring life to a set of antennae, these legs get the job done, and their variety of color options ensures that you always get just the right look to your flies.
Comparisons
Silicone legs are a standard material for fly tying and there are countless options available on the market. And while tons of these materials exist, there aren’t a ton of options for those looking for the small or “micro” size option. One material that offers similar sizing is Hareline’s Grizzly Micro Legs. These are also silicone legs that are smaller than average, but where they differ is that their color schemes all have a “grizzly” barred pattern. They also come in a variety of colors, all of which feature that classic barred look--these legs can be used just the same as the Hareline Micro Silicone Legs and make it easy to achieve a barring pattern. As for a comparable silicone leg that isn’t on the smaller side, Hareline’s Crazy Legs are a great option. These are standard sized silicone legs and work great for larger patterns or whenever you need a bold set of legs. Crazy Legs also come in a range of color options so that you can dial in your patterns exactly how you like. While all of these make great legs on flies, if you need something a little smaller, Micro Silicone and Grizzly Micro Legs are the superior choice.
