Comparison

Tinsel Chenille is commonly compared to Estaz. Both Estaz and Tinsel Chenille are corded materials with a flashy appearance, but Tinsel Chenille is a little more uniform than Estaz and also slightly thinner in diameter with slightly shorter fibers. Both of these materials can be used to palmer bodies, but if you're looking to tie smaller flies or want a less buggy appearance, then Solid Tinsel Chenille is the best choice.

Example Flies

While this material can be worked into a variety of different patterns, the Crystal Bugger is one of the most popular patterns around.
