I’ve used this thread for several salmon flies and it holds well under tension. The two-core design makes splitting for dubbing easy and the thread stays flat on the hook. No clogging issues even after multiple uses.
Melanie Robertson –
Great strength and consistent texture. Perfect for tying large predator flies. The beige color blends well with natural materials and the thread doesn’t fray easily.
Leah Mackay –
Works well for streamer flies and deer hair spinning. A bit harder to split than expected, but still manageable. Holds up well in the field.

The thread is strong, smooth, and performs reliably in both tying and field testing. The wax balance is just right—no clogging, good material retention.
