Comparisons

Due to its lightweight and buoyant composition, Polypropylene Yarn is a pretty unique material without any exact alternatives. However, Antron Yarn can be used in the same way as you would Polypropylene. The difference between Antron and Polypropylene is that Antron is not nearly as buoyant as Polypropylene Yarn, so if you want your fly to sit more in the surface film, Antron is a better choice, but if you want your fly to ride high, then Polypropylene has you covered.
