I think were splitting to many hairs here, i give in .

I'm a stickler for exactness but these colours will catch for sure, the thickness and texture of the floss also looks good, and thank the lord it's not spanflex !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
What i will say joe is this,
You're colours here are the best closest match for colour/texture/and diameter that i have seen for a while.
Fred.

ok I am going to give it a whirl. I like this pattern, have had great success with fuschia and have been keen to try other colours.

Hello Ben,

I am pleased it worked for you mate,

I aint sure of the rules around selling stuff on here, i would like to say yes but i think i need to see what is what mate.

If anyone is wondering the effectiveness of this flexi tied as a gold worm, this is what 34 fish dose to one.

Same with the fuschia. Including 4 fish in an hour weekend before last. Following Pint's guide on his diptera website I add a small clump of flash in the middle of the beads. The question is whether this gold flexifloss is 2x better than the gold available from Turrall....
