Shinchan 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2022 Aloha all, 1st post here and I've come to ask those in the know. I'm a beginner and I ties flies for sabiki/damashi rigs, which, I know, is not the focus of this forum but I figured this is the best place to start. I bought some fly tying material years ago ( got the urge to tie flies again years later) and just uncovered a stash of stuff that I forgot I bought. In it were some packages of DNA Holo Fusion. I tied a few flies with it and it works really well. Problem is when I tried to get more of the stuff it seems its no longer being made and the remaining stock online are not in the colors I need. Anyone have a suggestion for a decent substitute? What I like about the material is that its really fine and supple, flowing and pulsating when twitched. If anything I'm looking for something with similar properties, synthetic, thin/fine that is in long hank form. Mahalo for any info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2022 I can suggest Wing n' Flash. I believe I have another material, but I can't locate it at this moment (a combination of 50+ tying and living by the credo that he who dies with the most toys wins! I'll pas it on when I find it.

cphubert 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2022 Senyo Fusion Fibers are a substitute I have used Fluorofiber also, both are available. Colors may be the hard part to get an exact match to DNA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinchan 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2022 Thanks for all the information. I got some stuff from the Fly Tyers Dungeon and will check out Wing n' Flash and the Senyo Fusion Fibers as well. I will keep experimenting and hopefully the fish will like my creations as well. I have some craft store materials that I've been attempting to modify, maybe theres a forum to share that here somewhere? We'll see if holds together otherwise in the trash it goes lol...Mahalo again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
