Tip
Tip: Strengthen fragile body material so it does not break
How to do it: Reinforce fragile body material before fishing, so it survives strikes and handling
Mistake it fixes: Tying fragile body material without reinforcement
Why it works: Fragile materials break under fish teeth and casting stress. Reinforcement preserves the fly's body and profile.
When it matters most: Fly tying, wet flies
