Parachute post colours

[Feenom]

Not so strange or innovative but, a couple materials I like are the synthetic polar bear (I think it's called Polybear?) and the Enrico Puglasi fibers. The syn PB is just poly yarn and a little flash that comes in "hanks". Not sure what the EP fibers are but they shed water very well, come in some nice colors and a pack of it should be enough to last a lifetime!
The syn pb makes great spinner wings too.....the EP fibers are a litle too soft for them.......Jason

Either Poly Post or Hi Vis are my favourites, though i use general Polypropelene yarn, CDC and calf tail for parachutes. In cloudy conditions i like an all black mayfly, often the lack of sun will render mayflies a darker colour and sometimes black so it is not unrealistic. The black post is very easy to see in these conditions and the fish don't mind at all
