    pearl flashabou is the way to go.
    i have also tried the pearl krystal flash but the flashabou is way better.

    also i saw in a catalog flasback tinsel. it was 1/8" wide and was pearl just made for flashbacks.

    I have some shell back, but not sure it matters too much what you use.

    Lagartun Fine Mini Flatbraid which is braided very fine strands of Flashabou that comes on a spool.

    It's easy to use, durable and looks great!

    Thin strips of potato chip bags. Herrs has nice metallic looking foil - thats for stillwater. Krystal flash for the rest.
