FFGene Ibis Substitute

FFGene Ibis Substitute is a red substitute material for classic fly-tying applications traditionally associated with ibis feathers. It provides the visual role of this traditional material in fly patterns and is suited to small, clearly defined decorative details. The red colour works particularly well on salmon flies, including full-dressed patterns, where it can form a tail, throat, cheek or another recipe element. It also serves as a strong colour accent in streamers. Match the width and profile of the selected section to the fly, choosing an even outline and securing the material sparingly for a clean finished shape.
