SemperFlash Mirror 1/32″ Tinsel
A vibrant tinsel with horizontal colour shifts built into every strand, creating a striking multicolour effect. Enhanced with blended highlights like gold, silver, or black, it gives your flies incredible depth and contrast — perfect for patterns that need to stand out in both bright and low-light conditions.
Unlike traditional centre-tied tinsels that waste half the hank, Semperflie ties these 10″ (25cm) hanks at the top, so every strand is usable. That extra length makes it ideal for both small buzzers and long wings on saltwater or predator flies like tarpon and muskie.

The tinsel adds a lot of visual impact to my fly patterns. The colour shifts are smooth and the depth from the blended highlights makes the flies stand out in the water. I’ve used it on both trout and tarpon patterns and it performs well in different light conditions.

Great value for the amount of strands. The top-tied design means I don’t waste any material. It’s easier to work with than traditional tinsels and works well for both short and long wing applications.

I’ve been using this tinsel for several weeks now and it holds up well in both still and moving water. The colour shift is noticeable and adds a natural look to my flies without looking artificial.
