Textreme Magic Tinsel Single Pack – the ideal material for Perdigon nymphs
Textreme Magic Tinsel Single Pack is a premium pearl and UV film with a beautiful “cangiant” (color-shifting) effect, designed for modern fly tying. It is semi-transparent, which makes it perfect over a colored base (tying thread or floss) and allows you to create endless combinations of shade, depth, and shine.
The primary use is tying Perdigon nymphs – slim, smooth, and fast-sinking patterns for Euro nymphing. Magic Tinsel can be gently stretched, transforming the flat film into a durable tubular material with a unique light effect. The tube holds its shape, is soft, and wraps very easily like a standard body material.
Why you’ll want it for Perdigons
- Smooth, slim bodies with minimal water resistance (perfect for Perdigon nymphs)
- Pearl + UV effect – strong glow and cangiant reflections
- Semi-transparent material – the base thread/floss creates endless color combinations
- Stretchable → transforms into a tube with excellent durability and extra light
- Non-slip on fibers, also suitable for body segmentation instead of wire
Additional uses
Besides Perdigon nymphs, Magic Tinsel is also excellent for wing cases, bodies of nymphs and chironomids, emergers, and even dry flies. When stretched into a tube, it can be used as body segmentation instead of copper wire – adding color and light while maintaining very good durability.
Width variants
- 0.8 mm (1/32”) – ideal for small to medium patterns (especially Perdigon nymphs and chironomids)
- 1.6 mm (1/16”) – suitable for medium to larger bodies and more pronounced segmentation
