Uni French Wire MD (0.2 mm)
Uni French Wire MD (0.2 mm) is a metallic wire tinsel for a broad range of fly-tying tasks. Its principal role is as a rib that organises and highlights body segmentation while adding reinforcement to the finished fly. It suits many patterns, from practical designs to more decorative constructions, wherever a regular metallic line is required. The varnished surface is intended to preserve the colour and reduce tarnishing during use. The medium MD size can be matched to many standard shanks without making finer parts of the pattern look unnecessarily heavy. Apply it with even tension and keep the turns consistently spaced; when finishing, secure the last loop with thread before cutting the wire tinsel with suitable cutters so the final turn stays in place.

The wire construction is made for wrapping and supporting segmented bodies, not for adding weight. MD offers a versatile balance between a restrained presentation and a clearly visible metallic rib.
