Hareline Holographic Cactus Chenille

The perfect choice whenever you need to easily add lots of flash to your fly's body, Hareline's Holographic Cactus Chenille adds a bright look to any fly pattern. A durable thread core meets an ultra-flashy synthetic exterior, creating flashy bodies whether you're tying flies to cast into the mangroves or streamers to strip in front of steelhead. Holographic Cactus Chenille has a mix of silver and gold holographic fibers and is available in a range of colors, so you can dial your flies in exactly how you like.

Uses

Hareline's Holographic Cactus Chenille is most commonly used to wrap flashy bodies on streamers and steelhead/salmon flies. This material makes adding flash nice and easy, and it's an especially popular choice for enhancing the look of your Wooly Buggers.

Comparisons

If you want to maintain that flashy look but need it to be a bit more subtle, then Hareline's Ice Chenille is the perfect choice. Ice Chenille is made with a durable thread core, just like Holographic Cactus Chenille, but it doesn't have as much flash. This makes it a better choice if you want your flies to be a bit more natural while still throwing some flash. Both of these materials are sure to help you catch fish, but depending on how clear the water is or how pressured the fish are, one may be a better option than the other.
