Wapsi Cord

Wapsi Cord is hollow braided reflective body tubing for forming fly bodies. It suits baitfish imitations, zonker-style streamers and spoon-style flies. The reflective surface gives the finished body a clear flash, while the braided construction follows the shape of a prepared underbody and provides a practical covering for larger, formed profiles.

Construction and use

Choose Medium, Large or Jumbo according to the diameter of the prepared underbody and the profile you want to build. Slide the tubing over a smooth underbody and leave enough material beyond both tie-in points. Stretching narrows and lengthens the braid; compression widens it, so controlled tension helps set the fit. The underbody supplies the finished body shape. Tie the tubing down at both ends, then secure the cut edges against fraying for a clean, durable finish.
