Overview
Tigofly's Lateral Scale is a fly tying material sold in 5-pack lots, a 1mm-wide crimped plastic flash strip meant to mimic the scale flash of baitfish on streamers and jigs.
The crimped texture is the point here: it catches light differently than flat flashabou strands, giving flies a scale-like glint rather than one straight shine. It ships in a five color mix (white, red, purple, yellow, blue) so tiers get variety in one pack.
- 1mm width
- Crimped finish
- 5 colors: white, red, purple, yellow, blue
- 5 packs included
Who it's for
Fly tiers building baitfish patterns, or anyone dressing jigs who wants scale-effect flash rather than plain straight flash. Not much use outside fly and jig tying.
Pros and cons
- Crimped texture adds scale-like flash
- Five colors included in one pack
- Small overall quantity at 1.2 ounces across 5 packs
- Listed target species (Pike) reads like a generic tag rather than a tested claim
Performance notes
Because the strip is crimped rather than flat, it reflects light at more angles as it moves through water, giving tied flies a flickering, scale-like appearance instead of one steady flash.
