Rhys, what is the uv tinsel you use?

[@gregorfleming147]

What camera are u using or phone setup and could u do a video on how to set it for us boys wanting to try a videos cheers

[@RhysFishes]

Hey Gregor. I use a pretty basic cannon camera and 50m kit lens for the fly tying. Lindsay simpson has done a great guide that does better justice than I ever could on fly tying and video/photography. Check his youtube channel out 👍

Hi mate were can I buy that uv straggle thanks mate I need them in my fly box

[@RhysFishes]

Hi Rob, You can pick up a similar alternative at Flybox!

[@mattcollerson2542]

Any ideas for where I can get the UV tinsel and microfritz?

[@RhysFishes]

The tinsel is from a bargain store but any branded spool would do the same. The microfritz is discontinued but you can pick up like for like at flybox. Its called UV micro straggle black! Hope that helps.

Where did you get microfitz

[@RhysFishes]

Its discontinued but flybox do a like for like. Its called uv micro straggle fritz

[@quincym-e4680]

Could i use straggle sting instead of the micro fritz?

[@RhysFishes]

Yep
