Hareline Thin Wing

Caddis and mayflies, crickets and hoppers, stoneflies and craneflies, no matter what winged insect you’re imitating, Hareline’s Thin Wings makes tying the wings as realistic as it gets. Thin Wing is an ultralight material made from chopped and compressed synthetics, and although it’s super lightweight, it’s very durable and can be cut or burned to achieve the perfect shape. Thin Wing also has great buoyancy and its unique structure prevents the “helicopter” effect that makes your leader twist up after casting. Made in a variety of colors, you can turn to Thin Wing no matter the hatch. 

Uses

Thin Wing is a winging material that can be cut or burned to achieve your desired shape. Whether you’re tying upwing flies like a mayfly or a downwing fly like a caddis, this material can do it all. 

Comparisons 

Another wing material that’s close to Thin Wing is Hareline’s No-Fray Winging Material. No-Fray is also a synthetic that can be cut or burned to whatever shape you like, allowing you to use it for similar applications. The main difference between these two materials is that they just don’t have the same wing appearance to them, so depending on which you prefer for your flies, one may be a more suitable option.
