In this guide, we’ll explore why **KyleBooker’s 2mm TRUE BLUE Fly Tying Foam (8.5″x5.5″ 6PK)** is a top choice for fly tyers and how to select the best foam for your needs.
## **Why Choose Fly Tying Foam?**
Foam is a game-changer in fly tying because it offers several advantages:
– **Buoyancy:** Unlike traditional materials, foam keeps flies floating high on the water, making it perfect for dry flies and poppers.
– **Durability:** High-density foam resists tearing, ensuring your flies last longer even after multiple strikes.
– **Versatility:** Foam can be cut, shaped, and layered to create various patterns, from ants and beetles to hoppers and bass bugs.
– **Visibility:** Bright colors like **TRUE BLUE** enhance visibility in low-light conditions, helping anglers track their flies more easily.
## **Key Features of KyleBooker’s 2mm TRUE BLUE Fly Tying Foam**
When selecting fly tying foam, thickness, color, and size are critical factors. Here’s why **KyleBooker’s 2mm TRUE BLUE foam** stands out:
### **1. Optimal Thickness (2mm)**
– **2mm thickness** is ideal for most fly patterns, providing enough buoyancy without adding unnecessary bulk.
– Thin enough for delicate flies (e.g., ants, beetles) yet sturdy enough for larger patterns (e.g., hoppers, bass bugs).
### **2. TRUE BLUE Color for High Visibility**
– The **vibrant blue hue** makes flies highly visible on the water, especially in murky or fast-moving currents.
– Great for attracting fish in various conditions, from trout streams to bass ponds.
### **3. Perfect Dimensions (8.5″ x 5.5″)**
– The **8.5″ x 5.5″ sheets** provide ample material for multiple flies, reducing waste.
– Easy to cut into strips, circles, or custom shapes for different fly designs.
### **4. 6-Pack Value**
– Buying in bulk ensures you have enough foam for multiple projects without frequent reordering.
– Cost-effective for both beginners and professional fly tyers.
## **How to Choose the Right Fly Tying Foam**
When selecting foam for fly tying, consider the following:
### **1. Thickness Matters**
– **1-2mm:** Best for small flies (ants, beetles, midges).
– **3-6mm:** Ideal for larger patterns (hoppers, poppers, bass bugs).
– **KyleBooker’s 2mm foam** strikes a perfect balance for most applications.
### **2. Color Selection**
– **Bright colors (blue, orange, yellow):** Great for visibility and attracting fish.
– **Natural tones (tan, olive, black):** Best for imitating real insects.
– **TRUE BLUE** is excellent for both visibility and mimicking certain aquatic insects.
### **3. Density & Quality**
– High-density foam (like KyleBooker’s) resists water absorption and maintains buoyancy longer.
– Avoid cheap, low-density foam that tears easily or loses shape.
### **4. Sheet Size & Quantity**
– Larger sheets (8.5″x5.5″) allow for more efficient cutting and less waste.
– Bulk packs (6PK) ensure you always have material on hand.

This foam is incredibly versatile. Some top patterns include:
– **Foam Ants & Beetles** – Perfect for trout and panfish.
