What is Tommi-Fly UV Perdigon Thread Shiny?
Tommi-Fly UV Perdigon Thread Shiny is a flat synthetic thread developed specifically for tying Perdigon nymphs. Its smooth construction allows fly tyers to create exceptionally slim and even bodies that develop the characteristic glass-like finish once coated with UV resin.
