Semperfli Wire 0.1mm

$4
An ultra-fine, non-tarnish fly-tying wire (≈ 0.1 mm diameter, ~38 AWG). Lacquer-coated so colours stay bright and it won’t blacken your flies. 30m per spool. Why Pick 0.1 mm (vs 0.2 / 0.3 mm) Feather-light ribbing on #16–22 dries, nymphs, and midges without adding bulk. Subtle segmentation on slim buzzers/chronomids. Counter-ribbing for durability over quills/herl without overpowering the body. Micro weighting where you want a touch of sink but not a clunky profile. Typical Uses Ribs: PTN, Hare’s Ear, quill bodies, RS2/WD-40, Zebra Midge (fine rib), Diawl Bach/Cruncher (river & stillwater). Buzzers/Chironomids: fine open-turn ribs in #14–20. Spiders/soft hackles: subtle wire tag or rib that doesn’t widen the silhouette. Reinforcement: counter-rib over peacock, stripped quill, or biot bodies. Two-tone ribs: twist two colours of 0.1 mm together for a candy-stripe effect without adding much mass.
