Well you made me give the wire another try.
Seems it must have been the tyer or at least the way I was tying. By holding the spooled wire in my hand I was much more successful wrapping the wire. I think previously I was twisting and bending the wire too much causing it to bend and break.

The color to go for to tie 'proper' Sawyer PT nymphs is a rich dark brown, in essence a copy of the dark reddish-brown found in the center tail feathers of a male European pheasant.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, I meant red/brown and that is what I have but I will need to get more.
Thanks for the information!
This is the result.
