Textreme Flat Waxed Nylon Thread
Textreme has reintroduced Flat Waxed Nylon, preserving its distinctive characteristics developed by Danville while expanding its color range. Flat Waxed Nylon is a high-tenacity tying thread composed of nearly parallel filaments, making it lie very flat on the hook, provided that the twists formed during wrapping are released. Thanks to this feature, it allows for the creation of very uniform bodies. It is perfect for tying large flies, both for saltwater and freshwater, and is also excellent for tying large flies using natural materials, allowing you to tightly tie hair and hackles without cutting them.

Used this thread to tie large saltwater flies. The flatness and strength are outstanding. Hair and hackles stay intact during tying, and the fly bodies are very uniform. Highly recommended for serious fly tyers.

After switching from a standard tying thread, I noticed a significant improvement in fly consistency. The flat lay and high tenacity make it easier to achieve clean, professional-looking flies.

Good quality thread with excellent performance for large flies. A bit more expensive than other options, but the results justify the price. Works well with natural materials.
