Quick take
High-density EVA foam in 14 colors and three thickness options for building fly bodies, wings and tails.
This is a set of closed-cell EVA foam sheets made for fly tying, in a 14-color assortment. It comes in 1, 2 or 3 mm thicknesses, so you can match the foam to small flies or bulkier patterns. The sheets cut and glue cleanly, which suits tiers building streamers, baitfish, nymphs and salmon or steelhead flies.
