Enrico Puglisi 3D Minnow Fibers are durable, easy to tie with, and have accurate coloration for natural baitfish patterns. These fibers are designed to be easy to cast because they don't absorb water and when you need to match the hatch fishing baitfish patterns, it's hard to find better materials. Many seasoned anglers have found that baitfish actually change colors underwater, especially when attacked by predators. While you may think it's impossible to simulate this phenomenon with a fly, EP 3-D Minnow fibers make it possible. Why settle for a good-looking fly when it's possible to make a perfect-looking fly? EP 3-D fibers are proven deadly fly tying materials. Certainly, these beautifully blended EP Fiber colors will make a difference in your patterns. These fibers are particularly good for 6 and longer flies because the blend is stiffer and therefore will hold the shape of the fly better.

Uses: Baitfish patterns, Crab Patterns, Shrimp Patterns

Comparisons: These Fibers are different from normal EP Fibers because the colors are actually made from blends of the original and EP Needlefish Fibers (a thinner, UV reflective fiber blended with Flashabou to mimic the scales of baitfish) to even better imitate natural minnows. EP is such a unique synthetic material because it is known to have an action in between marabou and bucktail, two of the most popular fly tying materials out there.

Example Flies: EP Baitfish, EP Ghost Shrimp
