Streamer fibers and para post materials are essential synthetic components used for creating durable, high-visibility, and lifelike flies. These materials bring consistent quality, vivid color, and excellent movement to your patterns—whether you're tying large streamer wings or small, buoyant para posts for dry flies and emergers.
Streamer fibers are designed to mimic the natural motion and shimmer of baitfish. They are lightweight, easy to shape, and maintain their profile in both fast and slow water. Perfect for tying baitfish, minnows, attractor streamers, saltwater flies, and articulated patterns, streamer fibers offer:
- Smooth, flowing movement
- Colorfast, durable construction
- Easy stacking, blending, and shaping
- Natural translucency for lifelike results
These fibers help create flies with the right combination of flash, profile, and motion—key elements for enticing predatory fish.
Para post fibers (also known as post yarn or parachute post material) are ideal for adding high-visibility posts to dry flies and parachute patterns. Their buoyant, easy-to-handle structure makes them excellent for tying:
- Parachute posts
- Indicator wings
- Emerger shucks and wing cases
- Small streamer accents
- High-vis triggers on dry flies
Para post material holds shape well, is easy to trim, and helps you build flies that are easier for both you and the fish to see.
Choosing the Right Material
Choose Streamer Fibers when you want:
- Flowing, realistic movement
- Baitfish profiles
- Synthetic durability and color options
- Lightweight fibers that won’t absorb water
Choose Para Post when you need:
- High-visibility posts for parachute patterns
- Buoyant indicator wings
- Easy-to-see dry flies on rough or low-light water
- Clean, defined structure in small flies
Whether you're tying trout streamers, warmwater baitfish, saltwater predators, parachute dries, or emergers, these fibers provide superior control, visibility, and durability in every pattern.
