... is StretchMagic over tying thread.

Kind of like the look, and you can tie body colors in any thread color you have available. I haven't made an effort to do so, but by varying the tension on the StrechMagic while wrapping it, you should be able to get a tapered effect. Here is an example with .5mm clear over orange thread on a size 16 1X short scud hook. It is probably lighter than wire, if that is a consideration. It comes in several larger sizes.



Best of all, the trouts seem to like it.

Is similar to the Blue Moon Stretch Cord that I use on my RRP's and other similar patterns. Where are u getting the StretchMagic and cost per spool. The Stretch Cord is at Pamida's here in MT comes in 16yd spools (stretched out it 3 times that) it is like 3 bucks.
