Fly Tying Wire for Ribbing

Fly tying wire is one of the most useful materials for creating ribbing, segmentation, weight, durability and subtle flash on artificial flies. In this category you will find coloured wire, metallic wire, flat wire, perdigon wire, stainless dubbing wire and soft wire in different sizes and colours for tying nymphs, buzzers, wet flies, streamers and classic patterns.

Wire is commonly used to reinforce delicate bodies made from dubbing, quill, thread or natural fibres. A fine rib adds realistic segmentation to small nymphs and emergers, while medium and heavier wires can add weight, contrast and durability to larger flies. Bright colours, metallic finishes and hot shades are also useful for creating trigger points and visible ribs on modern tactical nymphs and perdigons.

At Trout Line, you can find selected fly tying wires from Troutline, Hends and Uni Products, including fine coloured wire, metallic wire, stainless brush wire and soft wire for both traditional and modern fly patterns. These materials are ideal for fly tiers who need clean ribs, durable bodies and controlled flash without adding too much bulk.
