What it is
Hareline Fly Enhancer Legs are silicone fly-tying legs with barred and speckled markings built in. Silicone gives you a natural-looking leg that stays durable and has an underwater wiggle instead of going stiff after a few fish.
What to tie with it
Use them as legs and feelers on stoneflies, shrimp, and crayfish patterns, and anywhere you want movement without adding bulk. They’re easy to tie in as rubber-leg style kickers on nymphs, as trailer legs on streamers, and as legs on bass poppers; square-cut legs also show up a lot on bigger prey imitations like crayfish and grasshoppers. They’re also used on trout spey patterns where a little extra pulse helps the fly swim.
Flies and the fish they're for
Pats Rubber Legs is a natural fit for this material, and it’s a go-to trout nymph for stonefly-heavy rivers, and it’ll also take opportunistic smallmouth in moving water. Koz’s Caddis is a trout dry that’s fished on rivers and creeks, and adding lively legs can help sell the adult caddis profile on the drift. Pine squirrel trout spey streamer is a trout swing fly, and enhancer legs give it that extra wiggle when you’re fishing it for trout in current.
How it compares
Compared with rubber legs, silicone legs tend to hold up longer and keep a more consistent wiggle in the water, while still giving you the same basic rubber-leg tying options.
