Braids are ideal fly tying threads.
The metallic finish of Kreinik's Braids adds an attractive flash and sparkle to many types of flies. They provide excellent definition and texture for nymphs and segmented bodies. Use Kreinik Braids in place of dubbing to make tying nymphs and terrestrials easier. The braids can also be used to tie bodies, trailing shucks, parachute posts or wings on nymphs, dry flies, wet flies, streamers etc. Kreinik Braids are very strong and do not stretch, which makes them ideal for braided or woven bodies of all types and they stand up well to toothy critters like salmon, steelhead, Northern Pike or Bluefish.
