Quick take

Five packs of 1mm flat flashabou tinsel in multiple colors, with one UV color for low-light fishing.

This Tigofly set bundles five packs of flat holographic tinsel in purple, blue, pearl white, pink and green. Each strand runs about 30 cm and roughly 1 mm wide, with about 5 g per pack. Fly tyers use this kind of flash to add sparkle to nymph backs, jig bodies and wraps, and the pink strands are UV reactive for added contrast.

Best for

Building saltwater streamers with flash
Stone fly nymph bodies with flashy backs
Adding shine to saltwater and bass flies

Skip if

You tie only dry flies or nymphs without flash
You need thin wire for thread wrapping

Strengths

One millimeter flat width wraps easily without bulking
Five color options cover most fly patterns
Pink UV color triggers strikes in low light

Trade-offs

Small packs require multiple purchases for large quantities
Holographic finish can catch on bobbin during wrapping
Pink UV tinsel is less traditional than silver
