Veniard UV Straggle Cactus Chenille

Veniard UV Straggle Cactus Chenille is a highly effective body material that combines subtle translucency with UV-reactive fibres for added attraction.

Designed to create the illusion of movement, this straggle chenille brings life and depth to nymphs, wet flies, lures, and stillwater patterns. The fibres are sparsely and unevenly distributed, mimicking the natural undulations and flow of insect legs, gills, or other body parts in the water.

Thanks to its unique construction, this chenille works well as a full body wrap or accent, producing an enticing shimmer and flash as it moves. Its UV qualities make it especially potent in low-light conditions or deep water where visibility is reduced, helping your flies stand out and trigger more strikes.

Easy to wind and tie in, UV Straggle Cactus is a favourite among tyers who want to enhance the visual appeal and realism of their patterns.
