Danville Mono Thread
When you want your thread to disappear, this is the one.
Danville’s Mono Thread is the right choice for patterns finished with resin — especially Surf Candies and other clear-bodied baitfish — where you don’t want coloured wraps ghosting through the finish. Under UV resin or epoxy it goes virtually invisible, leaving nothing but clean, crisp profiles.
It’s also the proper tool when you’re learning to reverse tie bucktail. Because it builds quickly, it creates a solid thread dam that locks the hair in place and lets you control the flare exactly how you want it. That added bite makes shaping heads far easier than with traditional nylon.
Why you’ll like it:
- Goes clear under UV resin or epoxy
- Creates a solid thread dam for better hair retention
- Enables precise control over flare and head shape

Used this thread for my first reverse tie bucktail and it worked perfectly. The thread didn’t show through the resin and the flare was exactly what I wanted. Very smooth and easy to work with.

Great for clear-bodied baitfish. The thread disappears completely under resin, which makes the pattern look clean and professional. I’ve used it on several Surf Candy patterns and it’s been reliable.

Works well for resin finishes, especially when I need a clean profile. A bit harder to handle than nylon, but the results are worth it for the final look.

I switched from nylon to this thread and noticed a big difference in how the hair holds and how clean the finish looks. Perfect for making subtle, high-quality patterns.
