Hi Guys,

have been doing a bit of saltwater tying and fishing lately, and have run out of U.V herring back krystal flash, anyone know where to get some? Appears that its not listed in the tightlines or wapsi catalogues any more. have forund that a combo of this and U.V pearl in the wing and tail of deceivers makes them irresistible to just about everything.

Also is anyone importing the DNA range into NZ, and where the heck can I get some of that E-Z body stuff?

cheers
Paul

The E-Z body should be available from Feather merchants or go into your local fish city and they should have some. They usually do here in Hamilton, mind you I made them put it on the shelves.
 
No DNA supplier as yet, best bet is to import it your self. I last imported about 150 packs of the stuff, bloody dear too.
 
As for krystal flash am not too sure but probably again with feather merchants.
 
Hope it was helpfull.
 
Cheers
Kevin

Hi Jeanne
 
DNA is a fibre that is very fine and flexible and makes great baitfish tails.
 
 
UV herring back crystal flash is a crystal flash that incorporates UV gathering properties. In water it lights up like neon (sort of).

Sounds like pretty powerful fish bait - both of them! Thanks for explaining it to me Nick, will have a look around to see if I can find any of these two anywhere. Big%20smile
