Quick take
A 20-color tinsel thread set for adding shine and flash to fly patterns during tying.
This Tigofly set packs 20 spools of glitter tinsel thread in 20 different colors, each holding about 40 yards. The fine strand, around 0.18mm across, suits fly tiers who want sparkle for ribbing, tags and bodies on nymphs and streamers. A wide color range in one box lets you match or vary patterns without buying spools one at a time.
