It enhances ribbing, adds measured weight to bodies, and introduces a subtle flash that helps patterns catch light as they move in the water. The Large size is a versatile choice for bigger patterns, including streamers and large nymphs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-tarnishing copper maintains color and consistency over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdds weight to help form and stabilize body shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdds flash for increased visibility in varying water conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for ribbing and body construction in a wide range of patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuality material designed for reliable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize guidance and pattern pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included size options cover a broad spectrum of patterns. XS is described for ribbing on size 20 or smaller, Small for a general all-purpose rib, Brassie for ribbing on most trout-sized patterns (sizes 18–22), Medium for ribbing on nymphs (sizes 8–12), and Large for streamers and large stonefly nymph patterns. The Large variant shines on bigger flies where extra weight and a bold rib are beneficial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practical use, envision the wire as a steady companion through the tying process: it resists kinking, remains bright after wrapping, and helps you shape durable, well-defined segments. The copper’s natural density contributes to a clean wrap that keeps your pattern from collapsing during handling or casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReal-life applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRibbing with Copper Wire creates segmented bodies that mimic the natural texture of prey, while the weight helps patterns maintain a lifelike stance in water. The added flash catches light during short, fast retrieves, potentially aiding visibility without overpowering the fly’s overall silhouette. The Large size is particularly well-suited to bold presentations on bigger flies, such as streamer patterns or larger stonefly nymphs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrap with steady tension and finish securely to prevent unraveling. Store in a dry place to preserve the finish, and inspect the wire for consistency before tying to ensure a uniform appearance across your pattern palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What is UTC Ultra Wire Large Golden Olive used for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Non-tarnishing copper wire used for ribbing, adding weight and flash to fly bodies; ideal for large streamers and nymph patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Which fly sizes are best with the Large Golden Olive wire?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The Large size suits larger hooks and patterns; pair with streamers or big nymphs for prominent ribbing and durable bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"UTC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42098092474448,"sku":"B0CJ3VSJJ8","price":31.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9645\/8576\/files\/utc-ultra-wire-large-golden-olive.jpg?v=1771917896","url":"https:\/\/canadawildco.com\/products\/utc-ultra-wire-large-golden-olive-non-tarnishing-copper-wire-for-fly-tying","provider":"Canada WildCo. | Hunting Gear, Fishing Equipment \u0026 Outdoor Essentials for the Canadian Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
