Twinkle organza comes in different colors but white and black are the most used. The white is used for spinner wings. It is one of the materials that Gary calls "super triggers". A super trigger is a material or element of fly construction that exaggerates what the fish is looking for and so it serves to both attract the fish to the fly and triggers a take, sometimes even over a natural and other flies that contain just a normal trigger. Gary feels that the glint of light off of the twinkle organza stands out from the naturals and attracts the fish.

Another example is the sherry spinner of England tied with reddish orange wings rather than glassine translucent type wing material. It imitates the spinner of a blue winged olive. The natural does not have orange wings but since the spinners come back at sunset, the reddish light of the setting sun is seen by the trout looking up through the natural's wing which look orange to the trout. So the sherry spinner exaggerates this fact; and although the wings are not the color of the natural, they serve as a super trigger because they enhance the orange color of the fly and wings at sunset.
