Uni French Oval Tinsel LG (1 mm)
Uni French Oval LG (1mm) is a large oval metallic tinsel for tying larger flies. Its embossed profile creates a clear, orderly effect when wrapped, while the varnished surface helps retain its colour and shine during use and storage. It works as a body material or as a broad rib that emphasises segmentation. It suits classic flies such as Mallard and Red and Brown Bomber, as well as full dressed patterns including Green Highlander. Match the hook and other materials to the scale of the tinsel before wrapping. When finishing the turn, cut the material carefully to avoid damaging the tying thread or deforming its edge.
Construction and use
The oval section guides steadily and forms a distinct raised wrap. The LG version remains clearly visible on longer shanks, where the tinsel is intended to be a prominent structural element of the fly.
