Usage tips and recommended patterns : Devaux Translucent Tinsel adapts to multiple tying techniques. To create ribbing on bodies for nymphs or emergers, start by securing the tying thread then wrap the tinsel gently to obtain natural, shiny reflections. For more attractive streamers, dress the hook shank with a few turns of tinsel, optionally combining it with flashy body materials to increase contrast. Best results come from fine, airy patterns that fully benefit from the product's translucency. Use a light weighted head to ensure good presentation, or combine it with synthetic dubbings. Clean the tinsel regularly to preserve its shine over multiple fishing sessions.
