Hends Oval Tinsel - Tinsel ovale

Hends Oval Tinsel is made by twisting a flat, metallized strip to form an oval cross-section. It is primarily used for tying the bodies of various types of flies.

The spaced-out wraps add a shiny line to the body segments. Hends notes that the material is less durable than Color Wire, though it is lightweight. It is therefore chosen for its finish and the compactness of the wrapping, taking this difference in durability into account during the tying process.
