Super Stretch Floss (Flexi floss)

Super Stretch Floss is a synthetic tying material designed for smooth, controlled body formation. It has a flat profile and a high level of elasticity, which allows it to stretch under tension and return to shape without breaking. This flexibility helps create tight, even bodies with minimal bulk.

The material lays flat on the hook shank when wrapped. As a result, it produces clean, uniform bodies without ridges or gaps. Additionally, the stretch allows the tier to apply consistent tension, which improves control when building segmented or tapered profiles. The floss does not twist excessively during use, which helps maintain a smooth finish.

Super Stretch Floss has a slight sheen rather than a high-gloss finish. Therefore, it provides a controlled level of visibility without excessive reflection. This makes it suitable for patterns where a clean, defined body is required rather than a highly reflective effect.

The material can be used in single or multiple layers. A single wrap creates a slim, precise body. Multiple layers build density and allow gradual tapering. Because it stretches, it can also be used to bind down materials securely without adding unnecessary thickness.

It performs consistently across a range of hook sizes used in trout and salmon flies. Meanwhile, the material maintains its colour when wet and does not absorb water, which helps preserve the appearance of the fly during use.

Super Stretch Floss is used in both traditional and modern patterns where smooth bodies and controlled profiles are required. It provides a straightforward method for building clean, durable fly bodies with minimal material build-up.
