One of those materials that you&';ll find a ton of uses for, UV2 Sparkle Yarn is a great addition to a ton of different flies.ComparisonsA commonly compared material to Sparkle Yarn is Hareline&';s Antron. These are both synthetic yarns with a slight crinkle to them, but Sparkle Yarn tends to refract light just a bit better, which makes it ideal for patterns like the Sparkle Pupa that look to imitate the trapped air bubbles of a caddis pupa. Also, Antron doesn&';t feature the UV2 double-dye process, and thus tends to give a look that&';s a bit more subtle.Example FliesWhile Sparkle Yarn has a wide range of applications, one of the most popular flies tied with this material is LaFontaine&';s Sparkle Pupa.
