Micro Rubber Legs

Micro Rubber Legs

Micro rubber legs are a fine, synthetic, rubber-based material used in fly tying to add realistic, lifelike movement to artificial flies. They are specifically designed to be smaller in diameter than standard rubber legs, making them suitable for tying smaller fly patterns without adding excessive bulk. 
Key Features and Uses
  • Lifelike Movement: The primary purpose of micro rubber legs is to provide a subtle, quivering action in the water, even when the fly is at rest, which often triggers fish to strike.
  • Versatility: They are used across a wide range of fly types, including nymphs, dry flies (terrestrials like hoppers, beetles, and ants), streamers, and saltwater patterns (crabs and shrimp imitations).
  • Durability: Modern silicone-based materials, often referred to as "Sili Legs," are durable and do not deteriorate like traditional rubber over time.
  • Visibility and Profile: The fine, often barred or speckled, material adds visual appeal and increases the fly's profile, making it more effective in various water conditions. 
Popular Patterns and Materials
Some well-known patterns that use or can be adapted to use micro rubber legs include: 
  • Pat's Rubber Legs: A highly effective stonefly nymph imitation, often tied in a micro jig style for smaller streams.
  • Girdle Bugs: A classic nymph pattern that benefits from the buggy appearance of rubber legs.
  • Terrestrial Flies: Used for legs and antennae on flies imitating grasshoppers, spiders, bees, and ants.
  • Saltwater Flies: Essential for crab and shrimp patterns, where the moving legs add crucial realism.
