Hareline Boothe's Barred Matrix Fly Fiber

Tying up those foot-long flies to chuck at esox all day or imitating smaller forage for saltwater predators, no matter what you’re tying, Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber is an awesome addition. Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber comes in a ton of colors and is a synthetic material similar to Flashabou, but it offers a clean barred appearance and less flash. Like a saddle hackle feather, Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber offers lifelike movement in the water as well as excellent durability, making it a prime choice when chasing aggressive predators. Tie this in as a lateral line, or slowly work it into your whole fly’s body, this stuff is super useful and gives a natural look and natural movement in your flies.

Uses

A versatile material, Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber can be tied right into streamer bodies and wings, and it’s a reliable material to work into predatory patterns. Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber is a safe bet whenever you want to add lifelike movement and a barred look to your flies that isn’t overly bold or obnoxious. This material can be used in both salt and freshwater applications, and it subtly enhances the look and movement of any fly you’re tying.

Comparisons

Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber offers a look that few other materials can provide. While long Grizzly Saddle Feathers, such as those found on Hareline’s Grizzly Half Saddle, are a good alternative, they don’t offer any flash. On the other hand, Hedron’s Lateral Scale offers a similar construction, but it doesn’t have that nice barred effect, making it a better choice when flash is more of a priority. But for the times when you want natural movement combined with a bit of flash and barring, there’s really no better choice than Boothes Barred Matrix Fly Fiber.
