Quick take
Pack of 10 sheets of 0.28mm mylar tinsel with 300 strands each in 10 colors for tying flash into fishing flies.
This is a set of ten packs of fine 0.28mm crystal flash tinsel for tying your own flies, with a different color in each pack. Each pack holds a few hundred thin strands about 30cm long, enough to add sparkle to wings, tails and bodies. It suits fly tyers building patterns for freshwater or saltwater.
Best for
- Fly tyers adding flash bodies to streamers and attractors
- Creating flash zones in nymphs and emergers
- Building saltwater fly patterns that need high visibility
Skip if

- You prefer weighted tinsel for jigging flies
Strengths
