admin Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Mylar tinsel - Silver orange and peacock green (UNI) The holographics are nice too. Mylar under stretch flex, Gliss and Glo is really sweet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I also use frost bite {Krystal Flash works too} and floss. Also have had luck with v-rib and coated thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Cassette tape works pretty good - video tape's not bad either but is a little too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The shredded plastic strips that come in Easter Egg baskets. Use them for minnow bodies too. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunsie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've had pretty good luck with the anti-static bags and different colors of flashaboo. You can change the color of the anti-static bugs by wrapping the hook with different threads. I coat 95% of my chronnies with brushable loctite. Makes 'em shiny and tough.

Use them for minnow bodies too. j Yes, and you can buy a big roll (i.e. wrapping paper size) of the same stuff at places like Michael's and Hallmark's. It's often used for wrapping gift baskets. However, it's useful for a lot of fly tying applications (e.g. wings on flying ants), and one roll will be enough for ten lifetimes' worth of tying.
