ASIN: B07PQ73N91Category: Fly Tying Materials

Overview

A coil of polished copper wire is the working material here, wrapped around a hook shank to rib or add weight to a fly. The finish is described as non-tarnishing, and the listing covers nymphs, streamers and dry flies.

Gives tyers a color range in a thin wire that holds its shine. The listing's title, wire diameter and thickness fields do not agree, and the length does not say how it is divided across the six colors.

Who it's for

Tyers of nymphs, streamers and dry flies who wrap copper for segmentation and flash. People who need exact diameter and length per color should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Six colors in a set
  • Polished round wire
  • Many pattern uses
Cons
  • Diameter conflicts across fields
  • Length per color unclear
  • Tensile figure is generic
  • Thin wire can cut thread

Performance notes

Copper wire wraps tightly around a hook shank and holds its position, adding segmentation and a little weight. A thinner gauge makes finer ribs and wraps closer, while a thicker gauge adds visibility. A non-tarnishing finish holds the color bright over time.
