The iridescent flash of a fish in the sunlight is familiar to all people who fish, and to
all aquatic and marine predators. This effect is caused by the iridocyte crystal
cells in the dermal layer of fish skin. These cells refract light from the sun, which is
then transmitted through the translucent scales. This characteristic coloration is
finally available to lure makers and epoxy fly tiers. The Iridescent Finish System
suspends precision cut glitter crystals in a clear, high strength finish to produce a
distinctive prismatic effect similar to the flash of a baitfish.
