This thread holds up well under heavy fishing conditions. I’ve used it on large predator flies and it doesn’t fray or lose color. The strength is impressive and the thinness makes it almost invisible when tied. Great value for the performance.

I switched from regular silk to this Nano Silk and noticed a big difference in durability. It stays strong even after repeated use in saltwater. The 6/0 size works perfectly with my larger hooks.
Madeleine Parr –
Strong and reliable. The color doesn’t fade, which is a big plus. A bit harder to handle due to its thinness, but once you get used to it, it’s very effective for sea fishing patterns.
Ella Short –
Used it on a series of sea trout patterns. The thread held up during long casts and didn’t break under pressure. Very satisfied with the strength and consistency.
