In the 50% off, after Christmas isle, at stuff_mart I picked up a spool of this flasy tinsel material.
It has a twin thin wires running lengthwise through the material and has small looped look. My first thought was that the wire would rust rather quickly. So, I ran the test of dipping a piece in water and removing it for several times for the next few days. I also left one inside a glass of water for the same period. After 3 days it looked like new.

I might of found a new jig material. I'll tie up a jig later and see if it looks fishy. Anybody else play with this stuff?
