HEDRON Inc. - Fly Tying Materials
Founded in 1982, the company quickly saw the need to add “flash” to flies as a means of improving the fly fisherman’s productivity and ingenuity. Based on years of experience in the world’s most exciting fishing destinations, the company founders instinctively knew adding a synthetic accent that caught and reflected light to traditional marabou feathers would reap a better catch. It did.
This discovery led to the birth of FLASHABOU and Hedron, Inc. opened its doors for business in 1982 as FLASHABOU, Inc. This “marabou flash” instantly kicked off an industry-wide craze. FLASHABOU’s super strong metallic fibers were soon a part of flies and lures everywhere. Manufacturers added the flash to their fly patterns. And individuals, for whom tying was a hobby, an art and a passion, had whole new worlds opened to them.
