Troutline Oval Tinsel is designed for clean, subtle ribbing on dry flies, emergers, and other delicate patterns where every extra gram matters. Unlike classic tinsels that use a metal wire core, this tinsel features a polyester core, keeping it noticeably lighter—a big advantage when you want your fly to stay high and float naturally.
The oval profile creates a smooth, even segmentation with fewer wraps, helping you build neat bodies without adding bulk. It’s a great choice for modern dry fly bodies, CDC patterns, small emergers, and slim nymphs where you still want a refined rib.
