A small 'thread supported' tinsel that can be dispensed driectly from a spool, inserted into a fly tying bobbin. This makes tying small tinsel bodied flies fast and easy. Ideal for tying 'Perdigon' style midges and nymphs.
Good for creating ribbing on nymph and dry bodies or for perdigons. Tends to twist and is on the weak side so it can be a little hard to work with. I still give it 5 stars.

It's good tinsel but it does have a tendency to break and fall apart

I use this tinsel...
I use this tinsel for ribbing on various dry flys to add some flash and durability without the weight of wire. Love the look of it but sometimes it frays as the two layers of the tinsel come apart.
