    So Skip, is the standard size like 1/64"? Pretty thin, looks like the magnum is 1/32". My eyes are old but I'll try to mic it... tomorrow. Gotta get up and go fishing...

    Okay here is what I believe...starts with Micro 1/100" with is a couple of theses, then the standard 1/69" or 1/64" (not sure) like we all know, then there is the 1/32" like the Holo Magnum, then there is Lateral Scale which comes in several sizes including 1/69" & 1/16" and the 1/69 is only in Opal Mirage color. I also believe the Saltwater Flashabou is 1/16" also.

    On the Holo Magnum they say it's 2 times wider, 2 times longer and 2 times stronger. I just got some this week for the first time so I will give it a shot soon.

    I am the king maybe I was mistaken if I said 1/8", I was thinking the SW was that wide, but then I looked at the SW I have here and it's more like 1/16". Once I actually laid it against my wooden yard stick (lol) it was not 1/8", it was less and about as slice as I can see it's 1/16".

    I just ordered 1/16 . I'm hoping that is what I'm looking for. It's called salt water. You still have to watch what you order and the size. I got burned on that before. I got this off ebay.

    I have some Saltwater flash and just got some of the Holo Magnum (1/32), but have not used either yet. Had the SW for a long time, I just have not used it.

    Oh you should try some Lateral Scale if you order again, it's awesome looking stuff since it's like segmented looking.

    Man! Those are beautiful!
