Hareline Helix Flash

From tiny snot bait imitations to feed picky Albies, to large streamers for post-spawn pike, Hareline's Helix Flash brings a realistic flash to every fly you tie. Made with a helical shape, Helix Flash brings a scale-like look to your flies while adding just the right amount of flash. A durable synthetic, Helix Flash sheds water quickly and can stand up to toothy predators while enhancing the look of your patterns to increase success. Available in a range of colors, Helix Flash has you covered from the fresh to the salt and every brackish situation in between.

Uses

Helix Flash is a material that's great for adding a bit of flash and imitating the scaly appearance of many different baitfish. Integrate this into your streamers for a more lifelike look or use it on its own to tie ultra-flashy baitfish patterns.

Comparisons

Many flashes exist in the world of fly tying, but a comparable alternative to Helix Flash is Hedron's Polar Flash. While Polar Flash doesn't have the helical shape of Helix Flash, it's made with nylon filaments wrapped tightly around a core of Flashabou. This construction increases durability while also offering a similar scale-like look to what you'll find with Helix Flash. Both of these flashes are excellent choices and a reliable option whenever you want to add a flashy appearance to your patterns.
