Hareline Dyed Pearl Diamond Braid is a great material for forming flashy bodies. With the perfect flash for mimicking natural baitfish or crab bodies, this braid is available in a wide variety of colors so it can be used on almost any pattern. Not only is this braid good for constructing baitfish bodies, but there are creative ways to use it in bug patterns. That’s why there is a smaller midge size available.

Uses: Baitfish bodies, crab bodies, along with some midge and emerger patterns

Comparison: This material is quite similar to Bill’s Body Braid, with the difference being that that braid is flatter.

Example Flies: Diamond Braid crab, Ray’s Fly, Half and Half
