Veevus Mini Flat Braid is a super durable woven synthetic tinsel designed for adding clean flash, sharp segmentation, and slim body profiles to freshwater and saltwater fly patterns. At 3.5mm wide, this flat braid is narrow enough for nymphs, midges, scud backs, wing cases, and ribbing, yet strong enough for streamer underbodies, flashy tags, and high-wear attractor patterns.
Its woven construction compresses when pulled tight, allowing tyers to create smooth, low-profile bodies without bulky buildup. Available in a wide range of vivid colors and pearl effects, Veevus Mini Flat Braid is a versatile fly tying flash material for trout flies, steelhead patterns, saltwater flies, nymphs, streamers, and modern competition-style patterns.
Veevus Mini Flat Braid gives fly tyers the flash of tinsel with added durability and body-building control. It wraps cleanly, flattens under tension, and creates a polished finish that works especially well under UV resin. We especially like it for scud backs, flashbacks, wing cases, streamer underbodies, and segmented nymph bodies where a thin but noticeable flash profile is needed.
Perfect for scud backs, nymph wing buds, flashback patterns, shellbacks, and glossy resin-coated fly bodies.
Veevus Mini Flat Braid is ideal for tying:
Pull Veevus Mini Flat Braid tight as you wrap to compress the weave and create a smooth, low-profile body segment. For the cleanest finish, start with an even thread base so the braid sits flat against the hook shank.
Use it over dubbing as a fine rib, across the back of a scud or nymph as a shellback, or wrapped in touching turns for a full flash body. For maximum durability and shine, coat the finished body or wing case with a thin layer of UV resin to create a tough, glossy finish that holds up to repeated fish.
