UNI Soft Wire

UNI-Soft Wire is a non-tarnishing, pliable copper wire manufactured by UNI Products, designed specifically for fly tying applications like ribbing, weight addition, and forming bodies on nymphs and streamers. Known for being softer and easier to wrap than traditional French wire, it is a direct alternative to the industry-standard "Ultra Wire."
