Flat Mylar fly tying tinsel in 0.5mm or 1mm widths. Ideal for classic flies, nymphs, and streamers. Durable, reflective thread in 4–5 spool sets up to 90m each.
This set of flat Mylar tinsel thread is a versatile essential for tying classic flies, streamers, and flashback nymphs. Whether you're replicating time-tested patterns like the Black-nosed Dace or Muddler Minnow or adding shimmer to modern designs, this synthetic tinsel wraps smoothly and lies flat—creating durable, eye-catching bodies and ribbing.
Each set includes 4 or 5 spools in a range of reflective colours, including gold, silver, pearl white, laser gold, and laser silver. With widths of 0.5mm or 1.0mm available, you can tailor the flash to suit delicate midges, bold streamers, or saltwater flies. The tinsel is designed for strength and flexibility, preventing breakage during tight wraps or high-tension tying.
Each spool contains approximately 90 metres of tinsel, giving you enough material for dozens of flies. It’s ideal for creating segmented bodies, backs, lateral lines, or even adding subtle highlights to wing cases or tails. With a bright finish and consistent thickness, this tinsel delivers professional results in both freshwater and saltwater applications.
Suitable for use in lakes, rivers, streams, and coastal waters, it’s a favourite among fly tiers looking for durability and flash without bulk.
