Semperfli Wire 0.1mm
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.
