Quick take
Twelve rolls of nylon thread in 140D weight and 12 colors for wrapping hooks and securing materials in fly tying.
This is a set of twelve nylon fly tying thread spools in 140D, with 100 yards on each roll. The colors run from red, orange and pink through olive, blue, white, black and grey, covering a lot of fly patterns. The spools fit standard bobbins, and the thread suits small flies such as nymphs, midges, dry flies, wet flies and streamers in roughly size 6 to 14.
Best for
- Nymph and streamer construction on hook sizes 6 to 14
- General fly wrapping and body construction
- Beginners learning standard fly tying techniques
Skip if

- You prefer silk thread for traditional dry fly work
Strengths
- Standard bobbin spool design compatible with most bobbins
- 140D weight suits typical fly sizes without breakage
- 12-color range covers most fly pattern needs
Trade-offs
- Non-waxed nylon can slip during wrapping
