Midge Diamond Braid

Hareline Diamond Braid — Flashy Baitfish Bodies & Creative Bug Patterns in a Wide Color Range

Diamond Braid is one of those materials that earns its place on the bench fast. With the perfect amount of flash for mimicking natural baitfish, it wraps cleanly onto the hook shank to build full, shimmering bodies that look alive in the water. Available in a wide variety of colors, it works across almost any pattern — and the creative tyer will find uses well beyond baitfish, which is exactly why a smaller midge size exists for bug patterns, emergers, and smaller applications.

Key Features

• Perfect baitfish flash — natural-looking shimmer that mimics the iridescence of real baitfish scales
• Wide color selection — covers naturals, brights, and everything in between for almost any pattern
• Available in standard and midge sizes — midge size opens up use on smaller bug patterns and emergers
• Wraps cleanly and consistently for efficient body construction

A Note on Alternatives

Diamond Braid is quite similar to Bill's Body Braid — the key difference is that Bill's Body Braid is flatter, while Diamond Braid has a rounder, more tubular profile.

Example Patterns

Diamond Braid Emerger, Ray's Fly, Half and Half, baitfish streamers, midge and emerger patterns.
