tinsel question

When working with tinsel off a spool will the curl in the tinsel come out on it's own or do i need to straighten it somehow before tying it in?

I have had flash that had some bend to it. It was fine while it was in the water.

I quit using the kind on spools a long time ago. I just buy packs of Regular Flashabou and cut that to length. I hated the spools stuff! I still have some and it just sits there.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll steer clear of the spooled flash from here on.

Just buy the Flashabou in Silver Holographic and Gold Holographic and you can use these on most any jig color you want and the Holo really makes it pop fire in the sun. Maybe get one pack of it in Red Holo too as it's nice to put one strip on each side of the Silver or Gold and one Red right in the middle on top!

Only time I use stuff on a spool is when I'm tying flies.
