The Universal Body forms the main body of a dry fly. Its pre-formed, floating shape serves as a starting point for various insect imitations: the tying process then focuses on the elements that characterize the specific pattern.
The available lengths are 20, 25, and 30 mm, depending on the colors in stock. The body must be designed in conjunction with the hook and appendages to maintain the overall proportions. This is a material designed to be wrapped around the hook, intended for surface presentations.
