Tip
Tip: Ribbing adds appearance and protects fragile floss
How to do it: Add ribbing to a floss body for both appearance and protection
Mistake it fixes: Leaving a fragile floss body unribbed
Why it works: Ribbing protects floss from teeth and abrasion while adding segmentation that looks natural.
When it matters most: Fly tying, wet flies
