Embossed Tinsel Substitution

Are you out of that embossed tinsel for those neat looking streamer bodies?


Embossed Tinsel


Twisted Wire Substitute

Substitute some twisted wire. 

Simply twist 2-3 strands of silver, gold or copper wire into a rope and you'll get a reasonable substitute and a little added weight on the hook.

This is purely meant as a substitute if you just happen to run out of the embossed tinsel. 
It is not intended for the production of 1000 flies.

Different size wire will result in different thickness bodies.
