Coloured Flat Copper Wire - FLAT COLOUR WIRE by Hends

Flat Copper Wire FLAT Colour Wire - Hends

The Flat Colour Wire by Hends is a dyed copper wire with a unique flat profile. Unlike standard round copper wire, its flat shape lets you create ultra-even bodies, crisp ribbing, or reinforce your patterns without adding unnecessary bulk.

The key advantage of this flat wire over synthetic tinsels is its exceptional toughness. It stands up extremely well to fish teeth, extending the life of your flies.

Each spool features an integrated locking system to keep the wire secure after use. Tip: Remember to lock the wire after each tie to prevent accidental unspooling.

Key Features

• Light Reflection: Its flat surface acts like a mirror, producing much stronger flashes than round wire.
• Crisp Ribbing: Unlike round wire, it does not sink into the dubbing, making body segmentation far more visible.
• Versatility: Its fine diameter allows you to rib dry flies without weighing them down or affecting their floatation.
• Stability: Its flat profile prevents it from rolling on the hook shank, making it easier to build smooth, even bodies.
• Strength: Much more resistant than synthetic materials when fish attack.
• Practical: Spool with wire locking system.
