I have bought several types of flashabou: mirage, holographic, regular, and some crystal. These are all real thin; do they make wider sizes?
Also, what kind of flash is the stuff that looks like bright dots on a string? I thought it was crystal, but the crystal I bought looks different. I have a few bass lures that have it, but don't know where to buy it, or what it is called. Let me see if I can find a picture... TIA
Pics from the pic sticky thread with what I am talking about:

I believe that is crystal flash.
I know they make a saltwater flash that is wider. I have seen stuff around 1/8" wide before.
Yes the stuff that looks like dots is the Krystal flash. It's the twisted ones.

Another pic from searching... OK, Krystal flash. I guess it photographs a little different than it looks in person, or I have bought the wrong stuff. My MegaBass Popper bass lure has some that looks like pearls on a string, way different than the stuff I bought.
There are several sizes, pretty much from 1/100" to 1/8" wide.
Get the Hareline App and you can look through all their products and answer most of you questions about the thinks like width on flash. Go to Hareline.com and download the app.

GEEZ, I've looked a billion times there and for some reason overlook the app. Downloading that tonight!!! Thanks Skip.
I will have to look into the app also
I just got some of the Magnum Flashabou and it’s twice as wide as the regular. Thought I would try it, but think I have some other that is the same width as the Magnum. There is some even wider than that, but not sure it’s not too wide.

The flash on my MegaBass stuff is unique, very nice. Probably a JDM supplier. Very nice stuff. Not like the Danville Krystal flash I just bought.
I realized I should photograph my jigs, and I haven't done that lately. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. I have a picture in my mind of what I want, just need the right flash - oh, and a dead squirrel.
So Skip, is the standard size like 1/64"? Pretty thin, looks like the magnum is 1/32". My eyes are old but I'll try to mic it... tomorrow. Gotta get up and go fishing...
Okay here is what I believe...starts with Micro 1/100" with is a couple of theses, then the standard 1/69" or 1/64" (not sure) like we all know, then there is the 1/32" like the Holo Magnum, then there is Lateral Scale which comes in several sizes including 1/69" & 1/16" and the 1/69 is only in Opal Mirage color. I also believe the Saltwater Flashabou is 1/16" also.Quote:

What is the stuff that is 1/8" wide then? I'm wanting some of that eventually.
I am the king maybe I was mistaken if I said 1/8", I was thinking the SW was that wide, but then I looked at the SW I have here and it's more like 1/16". Once I actually laid it against my wooden yard stick (lol) it was not 1/8", it was less and about as slice as I can see it's 1/16".Quote:

I just ordered 1/16 . I'm hoping that is what I'm looking for. It's called salt water. You still have to watch what you order and the size. I got burned on that before. I got this off ebay.
I have some Saltwater flash and just got some of the Holo Magnum (1/32), but have not used either yet. Had the SW for a long time, I just have not used it.Quote:
