Quick take
A waxed 6/0 thread with 80-denier weight and 16 oz breaking strength for tying dry flies all sizes.
This is a gray 6/0 waxed nylon tying thread from Danville, wound on a 200-yard spool. It is a fine, single-strand thread suited to dry fly patterns, where a slim thread keeps the body neat. Fly tiers who build small flies will find it a handy everyday spool for the bench.
Best for
- All-purpose dry fly tying with tight wraps and durability
- Building thread-body flies and traditional patterns
Skip if
- You tie tiny flies size 20 and smaller
- You prefer unwaxed thread for faster spinners
Strengths
- Waxed finish grips hook shank and dubbing firmly
- 16 oz breaking strength handles hook barbs without splitting
- 200-yard spool lasts through hundreds of flies
Trade-offs
- Wax coating makes it slower to wrap than unwaxed
- 6/0 thickness is heavy for small delicate patterns
- Gray color limited compared to multicolor packs
