Hends Coloured Wire 0.09mm Gold is a specialized, ultra-fine fly-tying wire favored for adding subtle, high-contrast flash and segmentation to small flies without adding significant bulk. It is designed to be a quality wire tinsel coated with a colored finish.

Uses in Fly Tying:

• Micro-Ribbing: Ideal for ribbing tiny nymphs, emergers, and dry flies (size 18 and smaller) where heavier wire would distort the profile.
• Body Construction: Used as a wire-bodied nymph material, particularly for Perdigon-style nymphs, to provide both weight and a flash undercoating.
• Small Segmented Bodies: Excellent for creating tight, consistent segmentations on buzzers and nymphs.
• Thorax Accents: Perfect for adding a delicate flash to the thorax of nymphs.

Benefits of 0.09mm Gold Wire:

• Extremely Thin (Low Bulk): The 0.09mm diameter acts almost like wire thread, allowing for slim, tapered profiles required for small nymphs.
• Subtle Flash: Gold provides a natural, metallic attraction that mimics emerging pupae or small nymphs.
• Durability: Unlike thread, this metallic wire provides a durable rib that can withstand fish teeth and rocky riverbeds.
• Flexibility: Despite being wire, it is pliable enough to wrap around tiny hooks without breaking, making it easy to create tight segments.
• High-Visibility Colour: The vibrant, color-coated gold ensures it stands out, helping to attract fish in varied light conditions.
