Overview
Finishing a fly head so it holds up cast after cast usually comes down to the resin, and Solarez 75813 is built for exactly that step. Sold as a single clear UV resin piece for $19.95, it cures under UV light rather than air-drying on its own schedule, which is the standard approach for durable fly-head coatings among UV resin products.
At $19.95, it costs more than any of the Hareline fly-tying materials in this comparison, but it serves a different purpose entirely, since Solarez is a resin finish rather than a body or wrapping material like the elk hair or the CDC feathers from Hareline. Comparing resin to feather or hair is really comparing tools for different stages of the same fly.
What makes Solarez 75813 stand out numerically is the 4.7-star rating across 486 reviews, the highest of any product in this comparison, paired with a bought-last-month figure of 50+ that matches the top performer among the Hareline alternatives. That combination of top-tier rating and strong current demand suggests this resin has built a loyal following rather than coasting on early reviews.
Pros
- 4.7-star rating across 486 reviews, the highest of any fly-tying material in this comparison.
- Bought-last-month figure of 50+, matching the strongest current demand signal in the lineup.
- UV resin cures under UV light rather than air-drying, a faster-curing option for finishing work.
- Clear color keeps the resin from altering the look of a finished fly.
- 486 reviews gives the 4.7-star average a solid sample size behind it.
Cons
- At $19.95, it is the priciest single item in this fly-tying materials comparison.
- Sold as a single piece, so it serves finishing work only, not bulk body or wrapping material.
- No stated weight or resin volume in the listing specs, making it hard to judge how many flies one piece finishes.
- UV resin requires a UV light source to cure, an extra tool some tiers may not already own.

Performance notes
The spec sheet lists the material simply as Resin, UV Resin, in a clear color, sold as a single piece. The UV resin designation means curing depends on UV light exposure rather than a fixed dry time, so the piece can be positioned and adjusted before curing is triggered. That is a different process than the Cul De Canard feathers and elk hair also covered in this comparison, both of which are tied into place rather than cured with light. Being sold as a single piece with no stated volume or weight makes it harder to estimate coverage per fly compared to the ounce-based weights listed for the Hareline materials here, such as the 0.1-ounce CDC28 or the 0.25-ounce elk hair and NB377 items. Buyers judging cost per use will want to weigh the $19.95 price against expected coverage rather than against a weight-based figure the way they might with those other materials.
What buyers say
A 4.7-star rating across 486 reviews is the strongest combination of score and sample size in this comparison, ahead of the 4.0 to 4.5-star range on the Hareline materials reviewed alongside it. The bought-last-month figure of 50+ matches the pace of the highest-demand product among those alternatives, the Hareline NB377, while the CDC28 and elk hair listings currently show no recent purchase activity. Together, a near-top rating paired with confirmed current demand suggests Solarez 75813 is not just accumulating reviews from past interest but continuing to sell at a meaningful pace, a pattern that typically points to a product doing what buyers expect of it rather than one riding outdated reviews.
