thursthouse 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2016 I agree that I use BR more than any other (small coming in second) - but for the price, why not just stock up? Gold, silver, black, chartreuse and red IMHO for nymphs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2016 MIke, I measured, my wire, and its .004 inch diameter. Maybe just a hair thicker, but not more than .00425. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2016 0.004" is tiny, indeed. I keep waiting for "How it's made" to do a show on ignition coils. The secondary wires are so small, a cross section of the hundreds or thousands of wraps in the coil look like a solid piece of copper. How they wrap those, and with insulation that prevent each wire from touching others, and without breaking ... must be a sight to see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mainard 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2016 I saw a post somewhere else and they suggested old Christmas light wire . I had a couple strands that had quit that I was going to try and repair but I striped some of it and it works great for smaller flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
