Hemingway’s / Realistic bodies & backs
Ready-made bodies and backs help you establish a recognisable insect profile. Explore Bug Flesh, caddis pupa bodies, small mayfly tube bodies and attractor bodies, with Gammarus backs for shrimp-style patterns. These shaped tying components sit alongside the separate tubing used to construct tube flies.
