Hi chaps
After some advice, what is the best material for tying posts on small kinks, the stuff I have been using seems to frizz up when the flies have been sitting in my box for a bit! What do you lot use????

From the horse's mouth:

The best available materials I use are Silicone yarn from Niche for very small flies and the original Poly-yarn from Wapsi for normal and big sizes. The latter one is available in many colours and the siliconised yarn only in 4 colours.

McFlylon. Much better than Aero Dry.

Hollow fibre. About £2.50 for a pillowful on the markets. (Just make sure it is hollow fibre and not kapok or some other material). You can Pantone it, but I don't bother.
