Wire for defined ribbing and fly bodies
Wind the wire in spaced turns over a body or use close turns to build a wire body. Its profile, width and colour determine the result. Flat wire offers a broader reflective surface and, compared with round wire, cuts less deeply into dubbing when used for ribbing.
Choosing the right wire
Match the wire size to the hook and the proportions of the fly. According to SYBAI, Flat Colour Wire in Large is intended for big to very big streamers, salmon and saltwater flies, including wire-body patterns. Match the colour to the base dressing or choose a contrast for the rib. Check the exact dimensions and spool length on the individual product.
