Multi-purpose fly-tying material

On The Fly Gear

April 2026

UNI-Flexx is a fine elastic strand and comes in fifteen colors: chartreuse, yellow, white, green highlander, royal blue, camel, purple, fushia, orange, red, dark brown, black, grey, olive dun and gold. The strand may be divided into even smaller strands if desired.

UNI-Flexx can be used for: “rubber” legs and skirts; some like it as a floss replacement because it is much easier to handle; bodies of small nymphs, larva, and pupa. The stretch permits the material to be laid on the hook with a variety of tensions, thus reducing or avoiding slippage. In many cases it is not the stretch which is most important, rather the texture and stiffness and availability in a variety of vibrant colours. Moreover, the material retains the original colour when wet, unlike many others. As usual, uses are only limited by the tier’s imagination.

A new packaging scheme also is being introduced. The new eco-friendly packaging for the UNI-Flexx consists of 12 strands, each 20 centimeters long and packaged in a Ziploc bag.  

A 20-spool combo of mixed colors is also available. For more details, visit the UNI Products website.
