Jimmyjigs Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Flashabou could be the answer. Thanks guys! I am in Florida right now and trying to use clear strips to bulk up jig appearance while keeping brightness to a minimum. If Flashabou is the answer I can quit cutting up baggies.

cadman Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Flashabou, is a plastic like material that comes in many colors. Type in flashabou in Google and you will find many suppliers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Flashabou doesn't come in a clear though. It's going to add flash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Here is something that might be better, it is Senyo Predator wrap and it comes in clear. Edited January 31, 2019 by smalljaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyjigs Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I checked out the Predator wrap and it looks like it is what I want. Have been adding stripes ,dots etc. to the clear stuff I have and it makes a nice bulky jig when used as an overwrap. Think I am going to like being a member of the forum. Thanks Smalljaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just so you know, they also make a black barred clear. https://www.caddisflyshop.com/senyos-barred-predator-wrap.html . I use the black barred UV stuff for certain patterns on swim jigs. It is designed to be used like hackle that you palmer, basically it is a flash type material attached to a string. The nice thing is that the strands are long and so you can cut the length you need, really nice stuff to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blll Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Flashabou does have a color that is silver and clear strips. I think it is called "angel " something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
