Who has tried them?

What are your thoughts on usability for tying.

Both above compared to standard dubbing package.

I mix it up with my dubbing, and makes some great simi seal leaches, as well as some other patterns

Tried it but thought it was cut too large for my taste. Much prefer Ice Wing Fiber and Ice Dub, which is just a bit finer, but YMMV.

Always thought this was the same stuff as Angel hair in the fly shop but no where near the price?

Great for adding flash in soft winged flies like goat and fox.

Nope. Angel Hair is even finer than Ice Wing, so again Angelina is not a very useful substitute.

From what I can tell it's the same as Lite Brite

 

It's the same size or damn close to the hank of angel hair I have.

 

Wonder if it varies in size

OK, this was an odd thing to try. I was tying some deer hair bass bugs I kept adding some Angelina as I spun and stacked the hair. It added an interesting sparkle to it. I made them into earrings. Only negative was cutting it. Really tough on a razor blade.

How were you adding the Angelina?

On top of the hair or mixed in?
