Vinyl Rib – Midge

Description

Hareline Vinyl Rib is a translucent half round material with many uses for the fly tyer.  With a slight bit of stretch this plastic material is a great choice for bodies and ribbing on nymphs.  Naturally clear, most of the lighter dyed colors will allow for the underbody to show through.  Wrap this Vinyl Rib either side-by-side or spaced out to create the desired segmentation effect.  Applying vinyl ribbing over shaggy dubbing is a much better choice than wire as it does not “sink” into the dubbing.

Size midge here we find that this size is great for average hooks in the 16-20 size range.  The large range of color options allow for the tyer to add a fluorescent flare or stick to the natural color of nymphs.  We really like the effect of the more transparent colors like amber, tan, clear, and pink wrapped over a contrasting colored thread for our midge patterns.
