Quick take
Ultra-fine 0.2mm copper wire in six colors for tying nymphs, Copper John patterns, and brassies with wrapped bodies and ribbing.
This is a set of six colors of fine copper-based wire on spools, in the 0.2mm size. Tyers wrap it for ribbing, add it for flash or weight, or build dubbing brushes and whole bodies with it. The 0.2mm gauge suits general nymphs, Copper John and Brassie patterns, streamers and larger predator flies.

Strengths
