Ultra Wire Brassie
In Stock • Bozeman, MT
Description
Ultra Wire Brassie is a type of fly tying material used in creating nymphs and other small flies for fishing. It is a thin, brass-colored wire that is made of non-corrosive, high-strength metal, and comes in a variety of thicknesses, from extra-small to large.
The Brassie wire is specifically designed for making the bodies of nymphs, midges, and other small flies that are meant to imitate the larval or pupal stage of aquatic insects. Its brass color gives the fly a natural, lifelike appearance, and its thin profile helps create a slim, streamlined body that can sink quickly in the water and simulate the natural movements of the insect.
The Ultra Wire Brassie is a popular choice among fly tiers because it is easy to work with and can be wrapped tightly around the hook shank without breaking. It is also durable and can withstand the wear and tear of repeated use, making it a cost-effective choice for fly tying.
Size Guide:
- X-Small: Best for midges, tiny nymphs, and small dry flies. Adds segmentation without bulk.
- Small: Ideal for standard nymphs and dry flies like Pheasant Tails, Hare’s Ears, or Copper Johns. A versatile all-around size.
- Brassie: Slightly thicker than Small, designed for Brassie-style midges and slim-bodied nymphs that need a bit more weight and presence.
- Medium: Great for larger nymphs, stoneflies, and streamers. Provides durability and a pronounced rib.
- Large: Used for big streamers, saltwater patterns, and large stoneflies where extra weight and bold segmentation are needed.
