Veniard Solid Wire
Veniard offers several types of solid wire for fly tying, including gold and silver wire for ribbing and lead-free wire for adding weight. Unlike stranded electrical wire, fly-tying wire is a single, solid strand used to create durable, segmented bodies or to add weight to a fly pattern.
Veniard's gold and silver wire is a popular choice for adding a durable, metallic ribbing or flash to flies. It is known for its classic look and resistance to tarnishing.

General tying tips for solid wire
When using Veniard's solid wire, remember these techniques:
Wrap direction:
For maximum durability, counter-wrap the wire in the opposite direction of the other materials you are protecting.
Securing the wire:
To prevent dulling your scissors, wrap your tying thread over the wire and then use tension to break the wire cleanly.
Centering weight:
Place the majority of your weighted wire near the thorax area of the fly to help with the hook's orientation during fishing.
