Flat and Oval Tinsel for Fly Tying

Flat and oval tinsels are classic fly tying materials used for ribbing, body segmentation, flash effects and decorative details on nymphs, wet flies, streamers, salmon flies and traditional patterns. In this category you will find flat tinsel, oval tinsel, pearl tinsel, UV tinsel and coloured tinsels in different sizes and finishes.

Flat tinsel is often used to create shiny bodies, backs, hot spots and reflective effects on perdigons, buzzers, nymphs and small streamers. Oval tinsel is commonly used for ribbing, adding durability, segmentation and a subtle metallic touch to classic flies, wet flies, salmon flies and streamer patterns.

At Trout Line, you can find selected fly tying tinsels from Troutline, Hends, Veevus and Uni Products, including gold, silver, pearl, UV and coloured options. These materials are suitable for both traditional fly patterns and modern tactical nymphs, especially when you need a clean body, extra visibility or a durable rib.
