In our store, you’ll find a wide selection of wires and tinsels for fly tying, essential components for creating durable and effective lures. Wires and tinsels serve multiple functions, from strengthening structure and adding weight to flies, to creating realistic bodies and insect segments. We offer a broad range of wires and tinsels in various sizes, colors, and materials to meet the needs of fly anglers at every skill level.

Fly Tying Wires – Variety of Shapes and Uses

Our selection includes wires in different shapes and materials that can be used for various fly tying techniques:

• Round copper wires – available in many colors and thicknesses. These flexible wires are easy to wrap around fly bodies, adding segmentation. We offer classic colors such as gold, silver, and copper, as well as brighter options to give flies an appealing appearance.
• Flat metal wires – embossed, ideal for creating strong, shiny bodies. These wires are an excellent choice for tying streamers and large lures where strength and enhanced structure are needed.

Fly Tying Tinsels – Variety of Materials and Colors

Tinsels are popular materials used both for body wrapping and as decorative elements that add sparkle and attractiveness to lures. We offer tinsels in different thicknesses and finishes:

• Lead tinsels – primarily used to add weight to flies, allowing them to sink quickly, which is especially important in deeper waters. Lead tinsels are soft and easy to shape, allowing precise fly weighting.
• Lead-free tinsels – an alternative to classic lead tinsels, ideal for anglers seeking more eco-friendly options. They are equally effective in weighting flies and are environmentally friendly.
• Flat metal tinsels – embossed, perfect for creating shiny bodies and body segments. They are more decorative and attract fish’s attention with their shine.
• Flexible synthetic tinsels – slightly stretchy, ideal for crafting realistic fly bodies. This material conforms well to the fly's shape, allowing for smooth transitions and delicate details. Excellent for wet flies and nymphs.

Applications of Fly Tying Wires and Tinsels

Wires and tinsels have versatile applications in fly tying and can be used in various ways depending on needs and technique:

• Ribbing – wires and tinsels are perfect for ribbing fly bodies, creating durable and strong segments. This gives flies a realistic appearance and added durability.
• Weighting – lead wires and tinsels can be used to add weight to flies, enabling quick submersion in water. This is especially useful for tying flies intended to reach the river or lake bed.
• Body construction – flat tinsels and wires are ideal for creating shiny, prominent fly bodies that attract fish’s attention. Suitable for streamers as well as dry and wet flies.
