{"product_id":"hareline-chironomid-braid","title":"Hareline Chironomid Braid","description":"\u003cp\u003eHareline Chironomid Braid is a fine pearlescent braid built for the job stillwater tyers care most about: a slim, segmented, translucent pupa body that still throws light. Wrap it over a bare hook shank or a colored thread underbody and the braid picks up whatever is underneath, so one card covers a lot of chironomid shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Works:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost flash braids are too coarse for a size 14 or 16 chironomid — you get three turns and a lumpy body. This one is woven thin enough to wrap tight and taper naturally, and the braid structure gives you real segmentation instead of the flat sheen of a tinsel. Counter-wrap it with fine wire and the body holds up to a season of lake fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine diameter — wraps clean on size 12–18 chironomid and midge hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBraided structure gives natural segmentation, not a flat sheen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslucent; takes on the color of the underbody beneath it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso good for small nymph bodies, ribbing and buzzer shucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEd's Take:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Ridgway and Crawford Reservoir material more than a river one. Pearl Black over black thread is the chironomid body we sell the most of; Pearl Red fishes as a blood midge and comes into its own in the spring; Silver is the one to grab when the pupa are chrome and rising through clear water. Tie them on a 2.4mm black tungsten bead with a white ostrich gill and fish them deep under an indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hareline","offers":[{"title":"Pearl Black","offer_id":68000142786845,"sku":"CH11","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pearl Red","offer_id":68000142819613,"sku":"CH310","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":68000142852381,"sku":"CH344","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/1637\/5837\/files\/hareline-chironomid-braid-01.jpg?v=1794085167","url":"https:\/\/edsflyshop.com\/products\/hareline-chironomid-braid","provider":"Ed's Fly Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
