Used this thread for tying a batch of #8 dry flies. It’s smooth and easy to work with, and the wax helps prevent fraying. Strong enough to hold up in the water without breaking. Great for consistent head building.

Professional tiers I’ve spoken to recommend this thread for its balance of strength and smoothness. It holds well during casting and doesn’t fray easily.
Elizabeth Arnold –
Works well for flies in the #10 range. A bit flatter than expected, which helps with tight knots. Slight waxiness makes it pleasant to handle during tying sessions.
