Hareline Cactus Chenille – Black #11

Hareline Cactus Chenille from Hareline Dubbin is a versatile fly-tying material designed to create full, sparkly bodies for streamers, woolly buggers, nymphs and jigs. Each package contains approximately 3 yards (9 feet) of pearlescent, shaggy chenille so you get bulk and flash with minimal wraps—ideal for both freshwater and warmwater patterns.

Key Features

• Sparkling Pearlescent Fibers: Iridescent strands throughout the chenille add lifelike shimmer and attraction underwater.
• Durable Shaggy Texture: Shorter fibers resist fraying and hold up to repeated casts and fish strikes.
• Multiple Sizes & Colors: Available in Medium and Large thicknesses and a broad color range to match natural and attractor patterns.

Hareline Cactus Chenille makes fast work of building bulky, attractive fly bodies that retain profile and motion. Tyers use it for woolly buggers, large streamers, articulated patterns and even jig bodies for bass and crappie. Hareline Dubbin’s consistent dye lots and fiber placement mean reliable color matching and performance across packs.

Use this chenille with standard tying thread, ribbing (wire or tinsel) and a few locking wraps to secure the body—it’s forgiving for beginners yet trusted by experienced tyers. The material is also useful when combined with flash or dubbing to add depth to a pattern.
