Tinsel

Featured Replies

Awhile back, Glenn did a video on tinsel skirts. Ive also seen some living rubber/ tinsel skirt jigs. Where would i get this tinsel? Is it a special lind?

What is tough about that is a lot of anglers call Flashabou and Krystal flash tinsel. Christmas tree tinsel also works but it isn't the same as Flashabou.

I was wondering about christmas tinsel. I wish i could find @Glenn video i think it was a couple years ago. Definitely not flashabou or krystal flask though.

Christmas tinsel has nowhere close to the strength/durability of flashabou.  Crystal flash is much smaller in diameter and is not the same product.  Buy them at JStockard, Lurepartsonline, or Barlows.  Barlows especially has tons of skirt  and skirt making products.

Im thinking he called it ziggey flash. I mean flashabou could work. Im not looking to accent the skirt. Im looking to replace a ful tab.

Bdnoble84, there is stuff call lateral scale and if you go to fly tyers dungeon they have their own brands of flash.  Could it possibly be lumaflex? There are a ton of different products out there but nothing really secret so take a look and you may be able to find it.

Thank you Smalljaw. Ill check that out. Im wondering if the jig i saw was just christmas tinsel. But it looked really cool. 
 

This is on youtube. The video @Glenn made on here was a different material.

My video was about lumaflex skirts.  That's all I use on my spinnerbaits.

 

 

Thank you Glenn. Do you know where a person could find that material. I dont know where I got ziggy flash lol.

No, I don't.  Like I said in the video, once I find a source, I buy a ton because they're here today, gone tomorrow.  Try Googling it.  That's how I found my last source years ago.

Well of course when you want to find something you can't!!  The email I had for Supreme Corp doesn't work anymore and they don't show Lumaflex material anymore that I can see. Doing an internet search it says it's now made by Dupont
