Veniard Krystal Flash Standard

Veniard Krystal Flash Standard
is a classic fly tying material used for adding flash and shimmer to a variety of fly patterns. Manufactured by Veniard, a long-established UK-based fly tying supply company, this material features a highly reflective, corrugated, synthetic construction.

Key Features

Highly Reflective: The corrugated finish catches and reflects light from multiple angles, creating a lifelike sparkle that attracts fish.
Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of fly patterns, including baitfish imitations, streamers, nymphs, and salmon flies.
Durable: Made from a sturdy synthetic fiber that holds up well against fish teeth and repeated casting.
Easy to Use: Comes in hanks of fibers that can be easily tied in to create wings, tails, and bodies.

Common Uses

Wings and Tails: Added to wings and tails on streamer patterns, like the Clouser Minnow, to mimic the flash of baitfish scales.
Nymph Wing Cases: Used to create wing cases on nymphs, providing a subtle, reflective effect.
Ribbing: Can be wrapped over the body of a fly to add durability and a segmented, flashy look.
Trigger Points: A few strands can be used as a "hotspot" or trigger point on a fly to attract strikes.
Salmon and Sea-Trout Flies: The flash and movement of the material make it particularly effective for these predatory species.

Comparisons with Other Veniard Flash

Micro Flash: Veniard also offers a Micro Flash, which is an extra-fine version for smaller lures, nymphs, and wet flies. Standard Krystal Flash is more substantial and better suited for larger patterns or more prominent flash.
Crystal Mirror Flash: This flash has a unique twisted construction that enhances light refraction and creates a more intense, holographic shimmer. While both are highly reflective, the Mirror Flash is known for its incredible light-reflecting qualities. Standard Krystal Flash provides a more traditional, straightforward flash effect.
