# **How to Choose Textreme Flat Mylar Glossy Flash 300 Strands Fly Tying Material**
As an avid fly angler, selecting the right materials for tying flies can make a significant difference in your success on the water. One of the most versatile and effective materials available today is **Textreme Flat Mylar Glossy Flash 300 Strands**. This premium fly tying material is designed to add flash, movement, and realism to your flies, making them irresistible to fish.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when choosing this material, including its properties, best applications, and tips for optimal use.
## **Understanding Textreme Flat Mylar Glossy Flash 300 Strands**
Before purchasing, it’s essential to understand what makes this material unique:
– **Material Composition**: Made from high-quality mylar, this flash material is ultra-thin, flexible, and highly reflective. The **300 strands** provide a dense yet lightweight structure, ensuring durability without adding bulk.
– **Glossy Finish**: The glossy coating enhances light reflection, mimicking the natural shimmer of baitfish scales or insect exoskeletons.
– **Flat Profile**: Unlike round flash materials, the flat mylar strands create a more natural, lifelike movement in the water.
## **Key Factors to Consider When Choosing**
### **1. Intended Fly Patterns**
Different fly patterns require different flash intensities and strand densities. Consider:
– **Streamers**: For larger flies like Clousers or Woolly Buggers, a thicker flash application adds visibility in murky water.
– **Nymphs & Midges**: A few sparse strands can imitate trapped air bubbles or subtle insect reflections.
– **Saltwater Flies**: The **300-strand density** ensures durability against aggressive fish like tarpon or permit.
### **2. Color Selection**
Textreme Flat Mylar Glossy Flash comes in various colors. Choose based on:
– **Natural Tones (Silver, Gold, Pearl)**: Ideal for imitating baitfish or mayfly wings.
– **Bright Colors (Pink, Chartreuse, Blue)**: Great for attracting attention in stained water or low-light conditions.
### **3. Strand Length & Handling**
– **Precision Cutting**: The flat mylar allows for clean cuts, making it easier to tie in without fraying.
– **Adjustable Length**: Trim strands to match the size of your fly—shorter for small nymphs, longer for streamer tails.
### **4. Durability & Water Resistance**
Quality mylar flash should:
– **Resist Fraying**: Ensures longevity even after multiple fish strikes.
– **Maintain Shine**: High-gloss mylar retains reflectivity after prolonged use.
## **Best Practices for Tying with Textreme Flat Mylar**
To maximize effectiveness:
– **Mix with Natural Materials**: Combine with bucktail or marabou for a balanced flash-to-movement ratio.
– **Use Sparingly**: Overloading a fly with flash can make it look unnatural.
– **Secure Properly**: Apply a small drop of super glue or UV resin to prevent unraveling.
