Esox Bait Flash

Esox Bait Flash is the fly tyer's trusted material for creating accurate baitfish imitations or adding strong, clean color contrasts to flies. This high-quality flat flash is delivered in a traditional center-tied hank, with fibers hanging approximately 15 centimeters on each side. This classic packaging makes the material exceptionally easy to handle, cut, and store without fibers tangling.

Bait Flash is packed in an optimally sized bundle (~400 fibers), making it the ideal choice for tyers who want to build a wide color palette without oversized, expensive bulk packs.

Why Esox Bait Flash?

• Convenient hank format – The center-tied bundle keeps the flash fibers neatly organized. The ~15 cm fibers hanging on each side are ready to cut for wings, or you can open/cut the center tie to access the full ~30 cm length.

• Optimal 15 cm working length – The perfect length for mid-sized streamer and baitfish fly wings. For pike flies, this length is ideal for building the front section, accentuating lateral lines, and creating gill hotspots.

• Pure, solid colors – Unlike multi-color blends, solid colors give you full control over the fly's color profile. Ideal for creating accurate back and flank coloring of roach, herring, or perch imitations.

• Compact package (~400 fibers) – An optimal amount of material. Easily build a wide range of color shades at your tying bench cost-effectively.

• Light and lively – The thin, flat flash fiber reflects light effectively and moves responsively in the slightest current without absorbing any water.
