A hybrid between a thread and a fine round tinsel, Iridescent threads are a fine tinsel wrapped around fine monofilament strands as a core. For fly tying it acts like a fine wire. Wrapped tight around a fine hook and the strands of tinsel can be opened slightly if you wish giving a slightly faceted, gleaming surface.
We developed these threads initially for vibrant buzzers and chironomids, caenis and corixa water boatman, what we finished up with is a thread that is ideal for Trout, Salmon, Satlwater and Predator flies for bodies, thoraxes and vibrant hot spots.
