Textreme X-Type Flat Wire

The innovative fly-tying materials from Textreme (Italy) are renowned for their exceptional quality and outstanding value. Textreme X-Type is a premium flat metallic body material designed for creating slim, durable and highly reflective fly bodies with a professional finish.

Built around a reinforced metallic construction, X-Type wraps smoothly and evenly to create tight, segmented bodies on chironomids, buzzers, perdigons, Euro nymphs and other modern trout patterns. The flat profile helps eliminate unnecessary bulk while producing a sleek, fish-catching appearance that closely resembles the natural sheen of aquatic insects.

The metallic finish adds subtle flash and attraction without overpowering the pattern, making it an excellent choice for both natural imitations and attractor-style flies. It can be used as a complete body material, a ribbing material over dubbing or thread bodies, or as a foundation beneath a coat of UV resin for creating hard-wearing, glossy perdigon bodies.

Whether you're tying competition nymphs, midge patterns, slim buzzers or technical trout flies, Textreme X-Type delivers durability, visibility and an exceptionally clean finish.
