Description / Fulling Mill Ant Body Soft
The Fulling Mill Ant Body Soft foam cylinders are an essential material for the technical dry fly tyer. Specifically engineered for high-visibility and high-buoyancy patterns, these cylinders feature a specialised open-cell, soft-density foam that is easy to work with and provides a lifelike texture on the water.
Designed for crafting the perfect silhouette, these dual-colour cylinders are the ultimate choice for tying terrestrial fly patterns, specifically foam ants, beetles, and small hoppers. The two-tone design acts as a built-in sighter, making your flies incredibly easy to track in broken water or low-light conditions.
Open-Cell Soft Density Foam: Unlike rigid foams, the soft density of "Ant Body Soft" allows you to compress the material easily with your tying thread. This prevents the foam from spinning on the hook shank and creates a natural, segmented look that mimics the anatomy of land-based insects.
Dual-Colour Sighter Tech: Each cylinder features a vibrant two-tone split. This is designed to provide a high-contrast "hotspot" or sighter on the top of your fly while maintaining a natural, dark profile underneath—exactly what a trout expects to see from below.
Precision Cut Cylinders: With a length of 42mm, these cylinders provide enough material for multiple flies per strip. They are available in various sizes covering everything from micro-ants to chunky beetles.
High Buoyancy: The open-cell structure traps air effectively, ensuring your terrestrial flies stay high in the surface film even when fished as the "indicator" fly in a hopper-dropper rig.
3mm Cylinders: Perfect for technical Micro Ants, small beetles, and midge emergers.
4mm Cylinders: The "Goldilocks" size for standard Black Ants, Cinnamon Ants, and small terrestrial attractors.
5mm Cylinders: Ideal for large Carpenter Ants, juicy beetles, and specialized foam-bodied dry flies.
The Fulling Mill Ant Body Soft Foam Cylinders are available in a range of sizes and colours for you to choose from in our drop down menu.
Key features:
Soft Open-Cell Foam: High-buoyancy material that is easy to tie and compress.
Dual-Colour Design: Built-in high-visibility sighter for superior strike detection.
Pack Quantity: 12 high-quality foam cylinders per pack.
