Palmer Chenille

This is a Mylar based flash product with all of its 40 mm long fibers on a single side. When wrapped in closely spaced wraps around the hook, it makes a dense, flashy body. When palmered forward in evenly spaced wraps, it makes for a sparse body with lots of fiber movement and flash. When used in the latter manner, it can be substituted for a saddle hackle. Try it in place of a saddle hackle on flies like the Woolly Bugger.
