Midge Stretch Rib is micro-thin, stretchy ribbing designed to cover the hook with minimal buildup. Ideal for Chironomids and midge patterns, it preserves a slender silhouette while delivering reliable ribbing for small flies. Designed for fly tying, this micro-thin stretch ribbing maintains a clean wrap and consistent segmentation without adding bulk. The stretch property helps keep tension even around curved or short hooks, aiding reliable rib placement. It is especially suited to the tiny forms used in chironomids and midge patterns, where a delicate rib helps entice an eye-catching movement in water. When wrapped, the material tends to lay close to the body, preserving the fly's profile while ensuring rib visibility on small patterns. Trim to length to minimize waste and maximize control during tying.
