Body Braid

Body Braid – Fly Tying Material

Body braid is a hollow, braided fly-tying material designed to create smooth, durable, and highly reflective bodies on flies. Made from tightly woven synthetic fibers, it expands when flattened and contracts when stretched, allowing you to easily control body thickness and taper with simple thread tension.

Perfect for nymphs, streamers, baitfish patterns, and saltwater flies, body braid produces a clean, segmented look with excellent light reflection that mimics natural translucency in aquatic insects and small fish.

Key Features:

• Hollow braided construction for adjustable diameter

• Creates smooth, tapered, and segmented bodies

• Highly durable and abrasion-resistant

• Excellent sheen and light reflection

• Easy to tie and compatible with most hook sizes

Ideal For:

• Nymph and wet fly bodies

• Streamers and baitfish patterns

• Saltwater and stillwater flies
