The Tying Sessions :Tricks&Tips:Cheapest and best flash for pike flies!

Save a ton of money on flash! Metallic or holographic? No problem! Check this video and you'll never have to spend a fortune on flash! This is not cheap flash, the quality is the same as the one you buy in fly shops. The only difference? The price!

[@Colopwnius]

Very interesting tip! Just stumbled upon your video and ordered some material! I am looking forward to my very own custom blends!

[@NorbertRenaud]

Many thanks, just make sure it’s lurex. It’s very durable 😉

[@Piffilus]

Great tip Norbert! Thanks a lot.

[@NorbertRenaud]

Thank you !

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

Great idea!

[@didierpetrement7214]

merci pour le partage

[@DONBGWEST]

Thanks so much. I’d seen this in the past but just assumed that it would be more like the flimsy Christmas tinsel! I’ll certainly be ordering some of this next! Thanks again and kindest regards 👊🏻

[@NorbertRenaud]

Thanks, we have been using lurex for years, many places buy the stuff and resale it as fly tying materials for big money.(probably the dislikes that will appear on this video 😅) Its strong, holds well to pike bites. And value for money is simply unbeatable

[@DONBGWEST]

@Norbert Renaud I sent you a few messages on insta about some uv resins, I’m sure you probably already know them all however! 👍👍

[@NorbertRenaud]

@@DONBGWEST thanks mate, just after seeing them. I use the hard one on your first pic, very happy.l with it. You can also buy powders for coloring the resin if you want. 😉

[@DONBGWEST]

@Norbert Renaud I didn’t know about the powders?! I’ve seen people do it with paints. I’ll look into it 😎👍🏻👌🏻

[@limmaanka]

Amazing tips, if you have any tips on how to get replacement for long craft fur or nayat would great, I been looking allot online but can't find any. Got the bonny cord to make fish fibre, so that's a great one too but I need substitute to get lobg craft fur or nayat. Thanks for this video, very informative

[@NorbertRenaud]

Thank you. MR. J 👍😉

[@Noname-dd6ly]

Thanks for this video, On ALi xxxx apparently, lenght of the spool is 7000m for the same price. for 0,3mm

[@NorbertRenaud]

0.3 is a little fine, it has its uses but i rather the larger lurex ;)

[@1dowsey]

Brilliant thank you

[@NorbertRenaud]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bugbiteflytying]

Wow! Thanks for this video! I am going to order today. Love the blends. Is there a width that you have to look for?

[@NorbertRenaud]

eric thanks Eric ! From 0.8 to 1mm is great for saltwater and pike/ musky flies 👍

[@bugbiteflytying]

I just ordered some but I don’t didn’t really see the size spec

[@NorbertRenaud]

Usually it's standard, unless it's the thinner stuff, than it's normally mentioned ;)

[@bugbiteflytying]

Just got my first batch oh thread in. The best discovery on KZbin of all time...the holographic stuff is still on way. Thanks man!

[@spritehooks467]

brilliant! do you now what the equivilent would be for polar flash? thanks!

[@NorbertRenaud]

Thanks, not sure about a cheap replacement for polar flash.All my other types of flash i get them from Fly Tyers Dungeon.Good quality and cheap.

[@christopherturner5575]

This is an awesome method to spare your budget while getting great material. I got on ebay, amazon, and even googled for ways to get lurex holographic thread but it seems like I can not get it shipped to my address in USA. anybody found a source to get some in the states?

[@NorbertRenaud]

Hey thank you, yes for some reason it won’t ship to the US , but I’m sure you can find it in your country, it’s used for the textile/ clothes industry…might have to look that way. Or it goes under a different name in the US. Hope you can find some, if you do please let me know so I can relay the info to all 😉👍🤙

[@DallasLopez1]

Best tip ever!

[@NorbertRenaud]

thank you mate!

[@RaptorzFishing]

yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[@Thehipsterplantman]

Genius

[@NorbertRenaud]

Thank you Neil!

[@ukstreetfishing]

Awesome tip can you tie up a pike fly with I'd like to see you use it thanks

[@NorbertRenaud]

Thank you ! Just check the videos on the channel, many patterns of flies tied and vlogs with fly fishing on it 😉

[@ukstreetfishing]

Cool wanted to see a pike fly made with this material 👌

[@NorbertRenaud]

@@ukstreetfishing all the flies i have on my channel have this type of flash in them , just use the lurex as a replacement for flashabou and othes over expensive flashes sold by flytying companies

[@ukstreetfishing]

Is this like a cloth material or like a tinsel like material

[@mimoteph6378]

Salut Norbert ! Merci pour le bon plan ! Est-ce qu'il est toujours d'actualité ? J'ai été voir sur ebay, mais ce produit ne semble plus dispo. Tu te fournis ailleurs ? Ou alors tu n'as pas encore passé les 3km? xD

[@NorbertRenaud]

Salut , j’achète toujours sur eBay, les vendeurs vont et viennent sur eBay, il suffit juste de garder un œil dessus régulièrement 😉

[@mimoteph6378]

@@NorbertRenaud ca marche, merci pour ta réponse :)

[@bugbiteflytying]

Hey there...sorry to bug you but I noticed that your material is wider. I received all of my orders and they are great but they are the thinner, finer material. Do you know the specific source of the stuff in the demo? Thanks.

[@NorbertRenaud]

eric no worries this is one of the suppliers : www.ebay.ie/itm/182053489277

[@bugbiteflytying]

@@NorbertRenaud Thanks!

[@sigurdurmarolafsson4183]

@@bugbiteflytying where did you get the thin stuff??? I mostly tie for trout/salmon so the thin is what I need the most.

[@bugbiteflytying]

@@sigurdurmarolafsson4183 go to eBay and type in Lurex holographic thread. That will bring up all of the vendors. Check the size. The thin stuff is 1/69
