Thanks Roadkill I do the same with hare and copper ties which are similar but different, prefer the old school look of oval tinsel on the GRHE.
Thanks Lance.
Dana that sounds like a real find m8! I've never seen it that fine, sounds amazing. I once found a shop that had a bargain bin and was literally trying to give away the old oval tinsels in Silver and Gold. I bought the entire stash for a song.
I much prefer it to standard wire, gives just the right amount of glint and more of a 3d look, Prince nymphs tied with a silver looks so sexy, especially when you use black ostrich. I often use a few strands of ostrich with a couple of strands of peacock herl twisted in a dubbing loop, incredible fly, I may have to tie and post one if I remember...
