Hareline Rainbow Shimmer Legs

Hareline Rainbow Shimmer Legs are prepared strands for tying legs, feelers, tails and short accents into flies. Their surface carries a rainbow reflective treatment, adding changing colour flashes to the pattern as the material moves or catches light. The strands are tied in as finished leg elements, with their working length adjusted on the hook rather than prepared as a separate sheet.

Construction and use

Separate the required number of strands, position them on the hook and secure them with a few moderate thread wraps. For legs, place the material on both sides of the body; for feelers or tails, check the length before forming the head. Trim the ends after the attachment is complete. Rainbow Shimmer Legs can be used singly or in small groups, depending on the pattern and the amount of movement required from the tied-in accent.

• Form: prepared strands for tying as legs and accents.
• Finish: rainbow reflective surface treatment.
• Attachment: tie directly to the hook shank or body with controlled thread pressure.
• Uses: legs, feelers, tails and mobile accents in a range of fly patterns.
