Ultrawire Assorted Colors & Sizes

When you need a wire that does it all—ribbing, weight, flash, and durability—UTC Ultrawire delivers on every front. This non-tarnishing copper-based wire has become a staple material for good reason: it wraps cleanly, adds just the right amount of flash, and holds up to aggressive fishing without breaking down.

Available in multiple sizes and an extensive color range, Ultra Wire works beautifully for everything from delicate midge ribbing to heavily segmented nymph bodies. The fine diameter options create clean, defined ribs on small patterns, while the heavier gauges add both weight and flash to larger nymphs and streamers. You can even wrap two colors together for banded, segmented bodies that add visual interest.

Common Applications:

• Ribbing on nymphs, wet flies, and emergers (Copper Johns, Pheasant Tails, Hare's Ears)
• Dubbing brush wire for custom brushes
• Body material for wire-bodied patterns
• Counter-ribbing to protect delicate materials
• Adding weight and flash to streamers

A versatile wire that's earned its place in every tyer's bench. Once you see how cleanly it wraps and how well it holds up to fish teeth, you'll understand why it's never left the rotation.
