Choosing the right wire makes all the difference in how your brush spins, holds together, and performs in the water. DBW Brush Stainless Wire is available in three sizes to match any fly and any material.
.003 Small — Subtle & Lightweight
Best for small to medium flies and lighter materials. Fine wire is ideal when working with soft dubbing, flash, or smaller feathers — stays subtle without adding unnecessary bulk. Great for trout streamers, smaller baitfish patterns, and finesse applications.
.006 Medium — The Workhorse
The most versatile, all-around size. Handles dubbing, flash, schlappen, marabou, and synthetics with ease. If you only stock one size, this is it — perfect for standard streamer brushes and everyday tying.
.009 Large — Built for Big Flies
Heavy wire holds up to large feathers, long fibers, and bulky brushes without twisting or breaking. Ideal for musky, pike, saltwater, and other large predator patterns where durability and structure matter.
