Quick take

Soft copper wire in multiple gauges and colors for ribbing and weighting fly bodies during fly tying.

This is a spool set of soft copper wire in 0.3mm diameter, 10 meters per color, with ten colors in the pack. Fly tiers wrap it as ribbing, a tying thread alternative on small bodies, or added weight on larva, nymph and midge patterns. It gives a fine segmented look and helps a fly sink a little faster.

Best for

  • Tying nymphs and larva imitations with weight control
  • Creating ribbed patterns for added durability
  • Adding visual segmentation to fly bodies

Skip if

  • You tie only dry flies where wire adds unwanted weight
  • You prefer thread-only tying for minimalist patterns

Strengths

  • Soft copper is easy to wrap and manipulate on the hook
  • Multiple gauges allow weight adjustment for different hook sizes
  • Wide color range matches natural larva and nymph bodies

Trade-offs

  • Wire adds weight that may not suit dry fly applications
  • Copper oxidizes over time, darkening stored materials
  • Requires practice to wrap smoothly and evenly
