Hareline Kileys Skinz

Hareline Kiley's Skinz are preformed components for tying flies in Scud, Crab, Spoon and Stone shapes. Each component has a designed anchor area for tying in, allowing it to serve as a back, shell or main body element according to the pattern being tied and the selected shape.

Construction and use

Select the shape and hook-size-labelled variant to match the hook and the intended fly profile. Place the ready component over the prepared underbody and secure it at its designed anchor area. Use controlled thread wraps to preserve the formed outline, then check the position from above and from the side before finishing the fly. Kiley's Skinz can be incorporated into realistic nymphs and other flies that call for a clearly defined body profile.

• Form: ready, shaped tying components.
