Used Nano Silk for a series of streamer flies and found it incredibly strong. It held up well during casting and in the water. The thread didn’t fray or break even under heavy tension. Perfect for durable fly construction.
Evan Poole –
Split the thread for dubbing and it worked smoothly. No breakage during tying or use. The 50m length is sufficient for multiple projects. Highly recommend for serious fly tyers.

Stronger than other silks I’ve tried. A bit harder to handle when splitting, but once adjusted, it performs reliably. Good for long-term fly building.
