SYBAI Saltwater Blend Angel Hair – Ice Aquamarine

Product detailed description

SYBAI Saltwater Blend Angel Hair – Ice Aquamarine is a fine synthetic flash material for tying flies and streamers. This cool aquamarine blend looks light blue with silvery flashes.

The Saltwater Blend range uses soft, mobile Mylar fibres. According to SYBAI, they are four times wider than standard Angel Hair. They do not absorb water, which is useful when choosing materials for larger flies. The final bulk and behaviour of a fly also depend on the amount of material and the rest of its construction.

Working with this colour: Try a thin layer beside white and grey, choosing a ratio that retains the light appearance. Loosen the bunch before tying it in and check the length against the hook. Keep a little space behind the eye for the thread wraps and the finishing knot. You can combine the fibres with fur or other synthetics, using a small amount for a discreet flash or a separate bunch for a more visible section.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is Saltwater Blend Angel Hair?

It is a fine synthetic Mylar flash for wings, tails and bodies. The soft fibres are intended mainly for saltwater flies and streamers, and can also be blended into other dressings.

How much material is in one pack?

One ordered item is one 3 g pack in the named colour. Fibre length is up to 200 mm; this is a maximum, not a guarantee that every individual strand has the same length.

Can I use it for freshwater streamers?

Yes. You can use it as a flash component in a pike streamer or shorten it for smaller patterns. Choose the hook and the rest of the construction around the intended fish and fishing method.

How can I use the Ice Aquamarine colour?

Try a thin layer beside white and grey, choosing a ratio that retains the light appearance.

Can I combine it with fur?

Yes. Start with a small portion so the fur retains its profile and movement. Compare the combined colours before securing the bunch, then add more if needed.

Which tools are useful for tying it in?

Fly-tying scissors help trim the fibres, a bobbin holder controls the thread and a whip finisher helps complete the knot. Keep the thread clear of the scissor blades and leave room to finish the head.
