Quick take
Crystal flash tinsel in ten colors for tying flies and adding flash to nymphs, streamers, and saltwater flies.
This is a mixed pack of about 230 thin crystal flash strands in ten colors, each roughly 25 to 30 cm long and 0.3 mm wide. Tiers add it to nymphs, streamers and other flies to give them extra sparkle in the water. The assortment suits both freshwater and saltwater patterns, so one pack covers a range of colors at the vise.
