Benefits and key features of Devaux POLYCELON 2 mm

Trust Devaux POLYCELON 2 mm foam to deliver an exceptional finish across your creations. Its density and elasticity make it easy to shape realistic insect bodies that combine durability with a discreet presence on the water. Suitable for tying ants, hoppers and classic dry flies alike, this sheet offers unmatched versatility—essential for diversifying your fly box. Its strong flotation preserves the lightness of your patterns even after repeated casts, keeping imitations perfectly positioned on the water surface. The dense structure prevents water absorption, avoiding long-term weight gain of the fly.

Usage tips and recommended patterns

To get the most from Devaux POLYCELON 2 mm, cut with fine scissors or a craft knife to shape segments perfectly matched to your preferred patterns. Use a light weighted head for floating patterns, or craft realistic terrestrials such as hoppers, ants or beetles. Excellent results are achieved when combining this foam with traditional materials (hackles, threads, dubbing) to enhance realism and movement. For optimal adhesion, apply a thin layer of suitable glue to the hook shank before wrapping the foam, then let dry briefly before finishing the fly. Ideal for varying tying techniques (foam ant, terrestrial, chernobyl ant, hopper...) and refining every creation.
