Description In 1985, Blue Ribbon Flies and John Betts purchased the world’s supply of raw Zelon from DuPont. Since that time, it has proven to be one of the most versatile and widespread fly tying materials of all time. ZELON is a synthetic fibre that is made to hold its shape. The individual fibres do not mat when wet, retaining translucency and lustre. The fibres also have a tendency to crinkle, making Zelon the best material to use for natural looking shucks and wings. It’s a great dry fly material when tied loosely on the hook, and, it’s a great wet fly material when a tightly wound, segmented body is desired. In short, think antron when you tie bodies and wet fly wings. Think Zelon when you tie shucks, dry fly wings or bodies. Each pack contains enough Zelon to tie literally dozens of patterns.
