Veniards Foam Cylinders

They are ideal for creating high-floating, detached bodies on dry flies, terrestrials, and emerger patterns. They ensure your fly sits high on the water's surface.

Select the size based on the hook size and the desired profile of your fly. Small (2.3mm) is for smaller flies, Medium (3.2mm) for general-purpose flies, and Large (4.7mm) for larger patterns.

Yes, the foam cylinders can be easily cut with a sharp blade or scissors to achieve the exact length needed for your fly pattern.

The high-density foam is inherently buoyant and water-resistant, designed to not absorb water and maintain flotation.

They are available in Tan, Black, Orange, Olive, and Yellow.

While primarily designed for freshwater patterns, they can be used on certain saltwater patterns where buoyancy and a detached body are desired, provided the colors are appropriate.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the foam's integrity and elasticity.

Ensure the foam cylinder is not waterlogged. Check that the size and density are appropriate for the fly pattern. Verify that no heavy materials are overshadowing the foam.

Use a strong, fast-drying fly tying cement or ensure thread wraps are tight and numerous. Consider adding a drop of cement to the thread wraps for extra adhesion.

Use a sharper cutting tool for cleaner cuts. Apply gentle but firm pressure when attaching to avoid stressing the material. Ensure you are not stretching the foam excessively.

While options are varied, consider using permanent markers suitable for foam to add custom color accents if needed. Alternatively, combine with other colored materials.
