## **1. Understanding Rubber Silicone Legs**
Rubber silicone legs are flexible, durable, and highly realistic appendages used in fly tying. They mimic the legs of insects, shrimp, crabs, and baitfish, enhancing the action of your flies in the water. Unlike traditional materials like hackle or marabou, silicone legs provide a more natural, undulating movement that triggers aggressive strikes.

– **Vibrant Colors** – Available in **BLUE, BLACK, and TAN** for different fishing conditions.

## **2. Choosing the Right Color**
Color selection is crucial in fly tying, as it determines how well your fly imitates natural prey. Here’s how to pick the best **KyleBooker Sili Legs** color for your needs:
### **BLUE**
– **Best for:** Saltwater patterns (shrimp, crabs), trout streamers, and bass flies.
– **Why?** Blue mimics many baitfish and crustaceans in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
### **BLACK**
– **Best for:** Crawfish, stoneflies, and dark nymph patterns.
– **Why?** Black provides excellent contrast in murky water and low-light conditions.
### **TAN**
– **Best for:** Mayflies, hoppers, and shrimp imitations.
– **Why?** Tan blends naturally with sandy or light-bottomed waters, making it great for stealthy presentations.
**Pro Tip:** Carry multiple colors to match the hatch or experiment with color combinations for added attraction.

## **3. Selecting the Right Size & Thickness**
The size and thickness of your silicone legs should match the fly pattern and target species:
– **Small & Thin Legs (1-2mm thickness)** – Ideal for small nymphs, midges, and trout flies.
– **Medium Legs (2-3mm thickness)** – Great for streamers, hoppers, and bass bugs.
– **Large & Thick Legs (3-4mm+ thickness)** – Perfect for saltwater flies, pike/musky patterns, and large crayfish imitations.
KyleBooker’s **Sili Legs** come in various lengths, allowing you to trim them to fit your specific fly design.

## **4. How to Tie with Silicone Legs**
Adding silicone legs to your flies is simple. Here are two common methods:
### **A. Clump & Tie-In Method**
1. Cut a small bundle of legs (4-6 strands).
2. Secure them at the hook bend or behind the bead using thread or super glue.
3. Spread them evenly for a natural splay.
### **B. Individual Leg Placement**
1. Tie in legs one by one along the sides of the fly for a segmented look.
2. Use UV resin or head cement to reinforce the attachment points.
**Bonus Tip:** For extra movement, leave the legs slightly longer so they pulse in the water.
