Everyone knows squirmy worms work whether you like them or not. Silicone squirmy material has a serious Achilles’ heel. The silicone the worms are made of is extremely fragile. If you crank too hard with thin, but strong thread it breaks. Sun exposure causes melts and splits. Summer heat degrades the material. It is prone to being beat up by fish teeth and torn up and breaking. Our friends over at Montana Fly Company developed a genius solution to this issue. They coated a small chenille core with silicone material. This heavy chenille core is similar to the material used in a San Juan worm; it is virtually indestructible. With Trina’s Squirm Material from Montana Fly Co, you get the durability of a San Juan Worm with the realistic look that a squirmy provides. With this upcoming rain in the forecast, the rivers will bump in flow and this fly will be a staple until levels drop.
