Eggstasy Chenille "Candy floss" - 10mm
Our Eggstasy Chenille "Candy floss" is one of our favourite materials for tying blobs, eggs and boobies for stillwater fly fishing.
Its ultra-fine, supple fibres pulse with the slightest retrieve.
Tips for use:
- Recommended hook: Hanak H270BL, size 10 or 12
- Fly types: blobs with tungsten beads or boobies
- Brushing: once your fly is finished, it is essential to brush the fibres with a scratch-style brush for at least 30 seconds to get the "Candy floss" effect that makes all the difference.
- Weighting: use a tungsten bead of 2.5mm minimum, ideally 2.8mm or 3mm for blob fishing.
The ultra-fine fibres trap air during false casts, so it is necessary to weight your flies so they can sink properly.
Technique:
- Blob fishing: the blobs you tie will be particularly effective for blob fishing, with one or two flies under the dry.
- Booby fishing: this chenille is ideal for booby bodies; use a foam cylinder or polystyrene beads for the eyes.
Specifications:
- Width: 10mm
- Length: 110cm
- Fibres: supple and ultra-fine
- Use: tying blobs, eggs or boobies for stillwater fly fishing
- Easy to tie
