The D-RIB STANDARD is a tinsel produced by the Italian company Hotfly and is mainly used to tie the bodies of artificial flies. The STANDARD size is the biggest available in our online fly fishing shop and for this reason it can be used to tie large nymphs or streamer bodies, in fact the diameter of this synthetic cord is 1.2mm. As you can see from the picture below, the final effect is very interesting because it emulates quite faithfully the abdominal segments of the real insect.
In addition to the 1.2mm STANDARD size, the 0.7mm MICRO size and the 0.9mm MINI size are also available.
The secret to tie this fly tying material in the correct way is to tie it along the entire shank of the hook with the tying thread, leaving only a little space before the tungsten bead to tie the thorax. Once this is done, wrap the D-RIB with tight coils until the desired body length is created, fix the end with the tying thread and cut the excess with scissors.
In our fly tying tutorial you can see an artificial fly realized with NATURFIL, a different material from D-RIB but sharing exactly the same shape and tying technique.
