When precision, durability, and subtle translucency matter, UNI Nylon Stretch is a trusted material in the vise of serious Atlantic salmon fly tyers. Designed to create clean, segmented bodies and durable ribs, this elastic nylon material excels in both classic salmon patterns and modern tube and hook flies.

UNI Nylon Stretch offers controlled stretch and recovery, allowing you to apply consistent tension without cutting fragile floss, silk, or dubbing bodies. The result is a fly that not only looks refined at the vise—but holds up to aggressive salmon and hard-fought battles in cold, fast water.

🎣 Why Atlantic Salmon Fly Tyers Love UNI Nylon Stretch

✔ Clean, Defined Segmentation – Creates smooth, even ribbing that enhances the profile of traditional and contemporary salmon flies
✔ Controlled Elasticity – Stretches under tension, then locks down securely without slipping
✔ Protects Delicate Bodies – Ideal for ribbing over silk, floss, tinsel, or dubbing without cutting or flattening them
✔ Subtle Translucence – Adds depth and realism without overpowering classic color schemes
✔ Exceptional Durability – Reinforces fly bodies for longevity in demanding salmon rivers

Whether you’re tying classic hairwings, elegant low-water patterns, or robust tube flies, this material delivers consistent results every time.
