Ribbing

Fly tying ribbing is a way of adding durability and segmentation to any pattern. Whether it is on dries or nymphs, it really gives the thorax of flies a tapered look, which definitely adds to the overall effectiveness of the pattern. Some of the best fly tying ribbing material would be Hollow Fly Tying Tubing, Veevus Pearl Tinsel, Veevus Body Quill, Vinyl Rib, Round D Rib, and Holographic Flat Tinsel.
