Veevus French Tinsel

Veevus French Tinsel is a round tinsel for constructing artificial flies. Its design is described as stronger than other French Tinsels on the market, allowing the tier to wind it tightly around the hook shank. It is suited to ribbing, body segmentation and other reflective details where a defined, orderly turn is required. The material is intended to stay closed rather than “open up” during winding, helping the finished wraps retain their shape. It should be treated as a tying and visual material, not as a stated weighting material.

Construction and use

The round profile creates a clear, regular line across a fly body. Build an even thread base first, then wrap the tinsel with controlled tension and set the spacing according to the pattern. Its strength supports firm winding, but neat placement still depends on the tier keeping the material aligned with the hook shank. At the eye, bind the end securely with thread before making the final cut.
