Turrall Flat Tinsel - X-Wide gives a broad, clean metallic covering to streamer and salmon-fly bodies. At 1/16 inch (1.60mm) wide, the untarnishable flat strip wraps a larger section of the hook with each turn, saving the fiddly work of trying to build a wide, smooth body with very narrow tinsel.

Turrall Flat Tinsel - X-Wide for Fly Tying

It is supplied as one 20-metre reel per pack, in Gold, Pearl or Silver. The material keeps its lustre, and the wide reflective face stands out clearly on larger wet flies and saltwater or salmon patterns. Use a finer width for delicate trout bodies; X-Wide earns its place when broad metallic coverage is the point of the dressing. The narrower Fine and Wide widths at troutcatchers are useful when you want the same untarnishable finish on a smaller fly.

Top Tips for Turrall Flat Tinsel - X-Wide

  • For a complete metallic body, slightly overlap consecutive turns rather than leaving thin gaps.
