As an avid angler and fly tyer, selecting the right materials can make all the difference in creating effective and eye-catching flies. One standout product in the world of fly tying and lure enhancement is the **Disco Gold Magnum Flashabou**—a premium flash material designed to attract fish with its brilliant reflective properties.
In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the best **Disco Gold Magnum Flashabou (1mm, 13-1/2″)** for your fishing needs, whether you’re tying flies, enhancing lures, or adding flash to jigs.
## **Understanding Disco Gold Magnum Flashabou**
Flashabou is a well-known synthetic flash material used in fly tying and lure making. The **Disco Gold Magnum Flashabou** stands out due to its:
– **1mm width** – Thicker than standard Flashabou, making it more durable and visible in the water.
– **13-1/2″ length** – Provides ample material for multiple flies or lures.
– **High-reflective Disco Gold finish** – Mimics the flash of baitfish scales, triggering predatory strikes.
This material is ideal for **streamers, saltwater flies, jigs, and tinsel applications**, where extra flash can entice fish in murky or deep water.
## **How to Choose the Right Flashabou for Your Needs**
### **1. Consider the Fishing Environment**
– **Clear Water:** A subtle flash is often better, so use fewer strands to avoid spooking fish.
– **Murky Water or Low Light:** The **Disco Gold Magnum Flashabou** excels here—its bold reflective properties help fish locate your fly or lure.
– **Saltwater Fishing:** The thicker 1mm width resists fraying from aggressive fish like tarpon and stripers.
### **2. Fly Tying Applications**
Flashabou can be used in multiple ways:
– **Wing Material:** Adds movement and flash to streamers like Clouser Minnows or Deceivers.
– **Tail or Collar Flash:** A few strands tied in the tail or behind the collar increase visibility.
– **Body Wrapping:** Can be wound around a hook shank for a tinsel-like effect.
### **3. Lure & Jig Enhancement**
– **Spinnerbaits & Jigs:** Adding a few strands to a skirt or trailer increases flash and vibration.
– **Trolling Flies & Hoochies:** The **Disco Gold Magnum** works well in deep water where extra flash is needed.
### **4. Color Selection**
While **Disco Gold** is a top choice, consider matching it with:
– **Pearl or Silver Flashabou** – For a more natural baitfish look.
– **UV-Reflective Options** – Great for low-light conditions where UV visibility matters.
