Hareline Scud Back

Scud Back — The Go-To Shell Back Material for Scuds, Shrimp & More

Scud Back is one of those materials that earns its place on the bench fast. Stretchy, translucent, and easy to work with, it wraps cleanly over dubbed bodies to create the realistic, segmented shell back that makes scud and shrimp patterns so effective. It's also the material we use in our popular Gut Bomb Bloodworm — so if you've fished that pattern, you already know what this stuff can do.

Key Features

• Stretchy and translucent — creates a realistic, segmented shell back with natural light transmission
• Easy to work with — cuts cleanly, ties down flat, and wraps without bunching
• Versatile — ideal for scud and shrimp patterns, bug bodies, bloodworms, and more
• The material used in the Natives Gut Bomb Bloodworm pattern

Perfect For

Scud patterns, shrimp imitations, midge larvae (including bloodworms), sow bug bodies, and any pattern where a thin, translucent shell back adds the realism that triggers selective trout.
