# **How to Choose Crystal Flash – Various Colours – Fly Tying, Jig or Lure Making**
When it comes to fly tying, jig making, or crafting custom lures, **Crystal Flash** is one of the most versatile and effective materials available. Its iridescent, reflective properties mimic the natural flash of baitfish, making it a must-have for anglers looking to increase their catch rates. But with so many color options available, how do you choose the right one for your fishing needs? In this guide, we’ll break down the best ways to select **KyleBooker Crystal Flash** for different fishing scenarios.
## **What is Crystal Flash?**
Crystal Flash is a synthetic, ultra-thin, and highly reflective material used to add flash and movement to flies, jigs, and lures. Its unique structure catches light underwater, creating an irresistible shimmer that attracts predatory fish like trout, bass, salmon, and saltwater species.
KyleBooker offers a premium selection of Crystal Flash in multiple colors, ensuring you have the perfect match for any fishing condition.
## **Choosing the Right Color for Different Fishing Situations**
### **1. Natural & Subtle Flash (Clear, Pearl, Silver, Gold)**
– **Best for:** Clear water, pressured fish, trout, and wary species.
– **Why?** These colors mimic the natural flash of baitfish scales. Clear and pearl work well in ultra-clear water, while silver and gold provide a bit more contrast without being overly bright.
### **2. Bright & Attractive Flash (Red, Chartreuse, Pink, Orange)**
– **Best for:** Murky water, aggressive fish, bass, and saltwater species.
– **Why?** High-visibility colors stand out in stained or dark water, triggering reaction strikes. Red and chartreuse are particularly effective for bass and pike, while pink and orange excel in salmon and steelhead fishing.
### **3. UV & Glow-in-the-Dark Flash**
– **Best for:** Low-light conditions, deep water, and night fishing.
– **Why?** UV-reactive and glow Crystal Flash enhances visibility in dark or deep environments where natural light is limited. Great for walleye, crappie, and deep-sea species.
## **How to Use Crystal Flash in Fly Tying & Lure Making**
### **Fly Tying Applications:**
– **Wing Material:** Adds flash to streamers, nymphs, and dry flies.
– **Tail & Body Accent:** Enhances movement in woolly buggers and Clouser minnows.
– **Dubbing Mix:** Blending Crystal Flash with dubbing creates a shimmery effect.
### **Jig & Lure Making Applications:**
– **Jig Skirts:** Integrate strands into silicone or rubber skirts for extra flash.
– **Spinnerbaits & Chatterbaits:** Wrap around blades or attach to trailers.
– **Soft Plastic Enhancements:** Embed strands in epoxy or glue for added attraction.
## **Pro Tips for Maximum Effectiveness**
– **Less is More:** Too much flash can spook fish—use sparingly for a natural look.
– **Layering Colors:** Combine different hues (e.g., pearl + blue) for a multi-dimensional effect.
– **Match the Hatch:** Observe local baitfish and select Crystal Flash that mimics their coloration.
