THREADS, TINSEL AND WIRES FOR FLY TYERS

FLY TYING THREADS, TINSELS & WIRES

THE FOUNDATION OF CLEAN, DURABLE FLYS

Few fly tying materials have as much influence on the quality of a finished fly as the right tying thread. It secures every material to the hook, determines the overall durability of the pattern and allows neat, controlled wraps throughout the tying process. At the same time, floss, tinsel and various wires are essential for creating realistic bodies, durable ribbing and precisely weighted flies. Depending on the pattern and tying technique, the ideal material, diameter and properties can vary considerably.

In this category, you'll find premium tying threads, fine floss threads, versatile tinsels, durable copper wires and lead wire in a range of sizes. Whatever fly pattern or tying style you prefer, you'll find the right materials for the job.

TYING THREADS FOR EVERY FLY PATTERN AND APPLICATION

Fly tying threads differ not only in diameter but also in material, tensile strength, surface finish and handling characteristics. Fine threads are ideal for delicate dry flies, small nymphs and elegant emergers, while stronger threads provide the strength required for large streamers, pike flies and saltwater patterns. Modern tying threads also offer excellent control, allowing flat, even wraps and clean finishing knots from start to finish.

With a wide choice of colours, tying thread can either blend discreetly into the pattern or become an integral visual feature of the fly itself. Whatever you're tying, there's a thread available in the ideal strength and colour.

FLOSS, TINSELS AND COPPER WIRE FOR REALISTIC DETAILS

Floss threads are perfect for creating smooth, vibrant bodies on classic dry flies, wet flies and salmon flies. Tinsels add attractive flash and subtle light reflections that enhance the appearance of countless patterns. Depending on the material and finish, they can produce anything from understated highlights to highly visible accents, making them equally valuable for nymphs, streamers and traditional wet flies.

Copper wire serves several important purposes. It reinforces delicate bodies with durable ribbing, improves the lifespan of the fly and adds decorative contrast at the same time. Available in different diameters, it is equally suitable for fine ribbing on small flies and stronger wraps on larger patterns.

LEAD WIRE FOR PRECISE WEIGHTING

When nymphs and streamers need to reach the desired fishing depth quickly, lead wire remains one of the most effective and widely used weighting materials in fly tying. By adjusting the number and thickness of the wraps, you can fine-tune the weight of each fly to match water depth, current speed and fishing conditions while maintaining complete control over weight distribution.

Both round and flat lead wires are available for different applications. They are easily incorporated beneath the body, providing balanced weighting and helping flies achieve a natural swimming or drifting action.

PREMIUM MATERIALS FOR PRECISE FLY TYING

Whether you're tying delicate dry flies, heavily weighted nymphs, traditional salmon flies or large predator streamers, high-quality threads, tinsels and wires make every stage of the tying process easier and more enjoyable. Smooth handling, consistent strength and reliable performance result in cleaner flies and greater durability on the water.

With a carefully selected range of tying threads, floss, tinsels, copper wires and lead wires, you'll find the right materials for virtually every fly tying technique and pattern—from timeless classics to modern competition nymphs and innovative streamers.
