When it comes to enhancing the effectiveness of your fishing lures, **Flashabou** is a premium material that stands out for its versatility and flashy appeal. Among its many variants, the **Light Green Flashabou (.37mm, 13-1/2″)** is a top choice for fly tying, lure making, jigs, and tinsel applications. In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the right Flashabou for your needs and why the light green variant is a must-have in every angler’s toolkit.
## **Understanding Flashabou and Its Benefits**
Flashabou is a synthetic, iridescent material designed to mimic the natural flash of baitfish scales. Its ultra-thin, reflective strands create a lifelike shimmer underwater, attracting predatory fish such as trout, bass, salmon, and saltwater species. The **Light Green Flashabou (.37mm, 13-1/2″)** is particularly effective in both freshwater and inshore environments, where green hues often resemble small baitfish, insects, or shrimp.
### **Key Features of Light Green Flashabou**
– **Size & Thickness**: At **.37mm**, this Flashabou is thin enough for delicate fly patterns yet durable enough for jigs and larger lures.
– **Length**: The **13-1/2″** strands provide ample material for multiple flies or lures per strand.
– **Color & Reflectivity**: The light green shade offers a natural yet flashy appearance, ideal for murky or clear water conditions.
– **Versatility**: Works well in **fly tying, spinnerbaits, jigs, tinsel wraps, and streamer patterns**.
## **How to Choose the Right Flashabou for Your Fishing Needs**
### **1. Consider the Water Conditions**
– **Clear Water**: Light green Flashabou provides a subtle yet attractive flash, preventing spooking wary fish.
– **Stained/Murky Water**: The reflective properties help fish locate your lure more easily.
### **2. Match the Hatch**
If you’re targeting species that feed on greenish baitfish (e.g., perch, shad, or juvenile trout), this shade is an excellent choice. For saltwater applications, it mimics small baitfish like mullet or shrimp.
### **3. Application Techniques**
– **Fly Tying**: Use as a **wing material** in streamers (e.g., Clouser Minnows, Woolly Buggers) or as an accent in nymph patterns.
– **Jigs & Spinnerbaits**: Wrap around the hook shank or mix with bucktail for added flash.
– **Tinsel & Flash Ribbing**: Incorporate into baitfish imitations for extra movement and shine.
### **4. Durability & Handling**
Flashabou is UV-resistant and retains its color longer than many other flash materials. However, for high-abrasion areas (e.g., saltwater toothy fish), consider reinforcing with a **thin layer of epoxy or UV resin**.
