 Imagine
a semi-transparent squid with a pale pink body interior. It's hollow,
braided body produces vibrations just like a live squid jetting
through the water.
Or a neon green or hot pink eel, working the weeds on the bottom.
Or any variety of plugs, jigs, flies, spinnerbait, worms, frogs,
spoons, poppers or lifelike lures created with FLEXO™ Flyflex™
and standard tying materials.
With the vast design flexibility of FLEXO™ Flyflex™ and
your imagination and skills, the creative possibilities are endless.

 FLEXO™
Flyflex™ is the most unique new body material to enter
the market in a long time. Endless design variations are possible.
Everything from caddis fly larvae to crabs to minnows to squid,
in all shapes and sizes can be crafted using FLEXO™ Flyflex™
body material.
The secret to FLEXO™ Flyflex™ is the material's ability
to expand up to 150% of its original diameter. This allows the
tubing to be turned back on itself several times to build shape
and movement into any bait design. With just a little pushing
or pulling to set a shape, FLEXO™ Flyflex™ can expand
to mimic the body shape and texture of virtually any baitfish
and the braided filaments mimic the natural action of light
and water against scales or skin.
FLEXO™ Flyflex™ is tough and resilient, and is
impervious to damage by salt water or ultraviolet radiation.
The material is almost weightless and is suitable for both
surface and deep water presentations.
FLEXO™ Flyflex™ is available in 4 sizes from 1/8"
to 1/2" diameter and can expand up to 150% of it's original
size. It can be used to make everything from the smallest
freshwater fly to huge bluewater lures designed to attract
even the largest gamefish. It is available in over 20 standard
colors, including high visibility Neon Green, Neon Pink, Crystal
Pearl, and Metallic Gold or Silver.

 Most
importantly, FLEXO™ Flyflex™ is easy to work with and integrates
readily with traditional tying techniques and materials. It takes
ink, dyes, resins and adhesives well and is unaffected by most common
solvents. |

FLEXO™ Flyflex™ is custom braided from individual
filaments of advanced PET polymer, combined with other
materials. The unique tubular construction allows the
finished sleeve to expand up to 150% of it's original
diameter.
Since the material is both seamless and expandable,
the sleeve can be manipulated in unique ways.
- It can be turned back onto itself to form strong
tubular shapes that surround and hide hook shanks
or eyes.
- It can be pushed and tied into sleek body shapes
to resemble natural baitfish.
- It can expand to cover tapered or assymetrical shapes
to create poppers, plugs or spoons.
- When a fish strikes a FLEXO™ Flyflex™
body, the flexible material recedes away from the
hook and allows deeper penetration and more consistent
setting.
