“Translucent half round ribbing that has many uses for segmented bodies. The large size is great for large stoneflies, streamers, and saltwater patterns. The medium size for Crazy Charlies, stoneflies, and large nymphs. The nymph size is perfect for small to medium nymphs and the midge size works great for midges and small nymphs. This spooled product has just the right amount of stretch.”

Use Wapsi’s UTC Vinyl D Rib for fantastic segmented bodies in your favorite stoneflies, nymphs, and midges. This excellent and exciting synthetic fly tying material is translucent and available in a range of sizes to fill all of your fly tying needs. Vinyl D Rib is also de rigueur in many saltwater streamer and bonefish patterns that require reinforcement and dimension to be effective against larger, tougher blue water and flats fish. This material is great to work with at the fly tying vise – its D-shape means it’ll always lay flat and it’s got just the right amount of stretch to make each wrap a snap!

ULTRA WIRE

UTC Ultra Wire
The hottest material in fly tying
Essential for tying the Copper John
Awesome for ribbing, weight, flash, wire, and dubbing brushes


The hottest material in fly tying!
Ultra Wire is a key ingredient in so many successful fly patterns that it may just be not only the hottest material in fly tying but one of the most often used materials. Most everyone knows that Ultra Wire is the essential material needed for tying John Barr's famous Copper John nymph, but it can also be used several different ways:

The original use for Ultra Wire is as a rib on a nymph. Gold Ultra Wire is ideal for Hares Ear nymphs or similar patterns. Black and Brown Ultra Wire are often chosen as a rib on stonefly nymphs. Ultra Wire is also great in the smaller sizes for tying even the smallest midges. Need to tie a size 28 Zebra Midge? Then look to the XS size which is ideal for ribbing size 22 or smaller flies.

Flies can be tied completely out of Ultra Wire if you desire. Karl Schmuecker's Iron Midge is simply an all wire version of the famous Brassie. It is tyed with nothing more than Ultra Wire wrapped on the hook then coated with epoxy. If you want to "get fancy", you can wrap a nice head of thread in front of the wire. The Iron Midge works in the same situations in which a San Juan worm is most effective. Because the fly is nothing more than Ultra Wire and epoxy, it sinks like a rock and is an awesome pattern for deep, fast water.

For a unique look, try wrapping two different colors of Ultra Wire together making a banded, segmented body. Another neat trick is to insert a piece of Ultra Wire into clear or colored stretch tubing. When wrapped, this makes a wild looking segmented body.

No matter what type of fly you are tying there is a size or color of Ultra Wire that is ideal. Since Ultra Wire is a non-tarnishing wire, the colors will remain rich, vibrant, and bold long after your flies have been tied. You can expect their color to remain true for their entire life in your fly box.

TINSELS
WAPSI UTC FLAT MYLAR TINSEL DUAL SIDED (TSF) 4 OPTIONS                                EBWAPSI UTC FLAT MYLAR TINSEL DUAL SIDED (TSF) 4 OPTIONS EB Ref: TSF
Ultra Tinsel
Excellent for classic streamer patterns and flashback nymphs
Wraps flat and strong
Available in 7 different varieties in as many as 4 sizes and 10 colors

A staple on the fly tying bench
Many classic fly patterns such as the Black-nosed Dace and Muddler Minnow call for a body made with flat tinsel. Unlike the tinsels of yesteryear, Ultra Tinsel is very strong and wraps perfectly flat, making beautiful, durable bodies. In addition to being used on traditional streamer patterns, Ultra Tinsel is ideal for flashback nymphs, midges, and saltwater flies. The uses of Ultra Tinsel are as broad as the imagination of the fly tyer.
Not just gold or silver
Ultra Tinsel is available in a wide range of colors and finishes, including special reflective properties, holographic patterns, glow-in-the-dark properties, and two-tone finishes.

Our Flat Mylar Tinsel is a two-tone tinsel with gold on one side and silver on the other.

UTC THREADS
WAPSI UTC ULTRA THREAD 70 DENIER (UTC70) 26 COLOURS IN STOCK!                    EBWAPSI UTC ULTRA THREAD 70 DENIER (UTC70) 26 COLOURS IN STOCK! EB Ref: UTC70

UTC Ultra Thread
Engineered specifically for fly tying
Available in 4 sizes and 33 brilliant colors to meet every fly tying need
Even the spool was designed for fly tying


Carefully developed to enhance tying performace
Ultra Thread has been engineered as a fly tying thread from the beginning. It is not an "off the shelf" thread as are many others. All of Ultra Thread's characteristics were carefully chosen to enhance its tying performance. Here are a few of the thread characteristics that make Ultra Thread ideal for fly tying:

(1) We chose nylon over polyester because nylon will stretch and grip materials better. This allows for more uniform tension and gives the tyer the "feel" for maximum tension. Nylon is the same strength as polyester (given the same denier) and offers the added benefit of more intense colors and a larger range of colors. Because nylon stretches, it grips material tighter and makes the fly more durable.
(2) Our thread is flat with only the minimum number of twists needed for production. This is important because the number of twists in the thread determines how flat it can be wrapped on the hook. The flatter the thread is wrapped, the more slowly it builds up. This is a huge advantage when tying small flies or when tying close to the eye of the hook. A flat thread also grips and covers materials with fewer thread wraps.
(3) Ultra Thread has been lightly waxed. This also limits thread build up and gives the thread a smoother, slicker feel. The added benefit is that head cement fully penetrates the thread which equals more durable flies.
(4) Ultra Thread is a multifilament thread that is not bonded. Bonded threads are oval in shape and are stiff or coarse feeling. Bonded threads also build up fast which is a significant concern when tying small flies. Since Ultra Thread is not bonded, it is the best choice for split thread tying techniques.
(5) Our spools are sized and designed to turn smoothly on standard bobbins. Each spool has a color coded end cap for product identification and to secure the tag end of the thread. In our opinion the best thread made deserves to be spooled on the best spool.
(6) We chose 4 different denier threads in a uniform progression of size and strength to meet every fly tyers needs.

How thread is sized
Denier is the textile industry's measuring standard for filament size. To measure a thread's denier, 9,000 meters of the thread are weighed. If the weight (calculated mass) of the thread is 140 grams, then that thread is considered a 140 denier thread. Using this system it is easy to understand that a 280 denier thread is twice the mass of a 140 thread and, thus, is larger in diameter and stronger. We are confident that all fly tying thread manufacturers and distributors will soon classify all of their thread in this manner.

Currently most fly thread brands uses the "0" (Aught) system. In this system the larger the number in front of the "0" the smaller the thread. For instance 8/0 thread is thinner than 6/0 thread. This numbering system is totally arbitrary and varies widely between the manufacturers. When comparing threads of different brands, we suggest you do not use the Aught system because the only accurate way to compare sizes of threads is by denier.

A thread for every need
Ultra Thread is produced in 4 different deniers (70, 140, 210, and 280) to meet the needs of every fly tyer: UTC 70 This is a great size for tying the smallest of flies and for tying with low bulk on larger flies. It is the ideal choice for dry flies, nymphs, and midges size 14 or smaller. Available in 32 colors.
UTC 140 Excellent for the majority of flies, it is the perfect choice for size 2 - 16 flies. Due to its vibrant sheen and excellent color retention, it is a good substitute for floss on small flies. Available in 33 colors.
UTC 210 An excellent choice for saltwater flies and large streamers. Perfect for spinning hair on bass flies without being too bulky. Available in 18 colors.
UTC 280 Designed for tying the largest saltwater flies, spinning hair on bass bugs and as a substitute for floss for bodies and ribs. Use 280 on any large fly where you need the thread to be very bulky, such as building up a tapered head on a large saltwater streamer. Available in 20 colors.
