$2.99
UNI UnderBody is a thick, stretchy nylon thread used in fly tying, primarily as an underbody material to build up a fly's body and create a desired shape. It is also used as a substitute for floss or for creating tags on flies, particularly salmon flies. Its white color can be marked with a marker to add color.
- Material: A strong and stretchy nylon thread, available in a 30-yard spool.
- Primary Use: Building up the body of a fly, especially for patterns like streamers and nymphs, to create a smooth, strong foundation.
- Secondary Uses: It can be used as a replacement for floss or for making tags on flies.
- Color: White is a popular color because it can be easily colored with markers.
- Application: It is wrapped over other materials, like lead wire, to create a secure and consistent underbody for the fly's main body.
