This fly tying material is fantastic for making ribbing for nymphs and emergers and has a great trigger effect. It iss used especially in competitions when  fishermen need to catch as much as possible . For example the white color has an ice blue reflex and is fantastic to ribb emergers in light colours. The pink has a violet effect with light blue reflexes  and is fantastic for ribbing nymphs. This type of  tying material offer a different way to create hot spots . These fibers are great for wet flies,  nymphs,  even dry flies and of course streamers.

Why these thin ribbing fibers and not tinsel?

-Gold, silver and coloured flat tinsels are used by fishermen  by many years. Educated fish are careful in picking super sparkling  flies tied with gold and silver. These fibres gives an extra sparkle to flies without being to flashy. A pearly uv color seems to be more efficient than classic  coloured tinsels.
