Quick take
A 75-meter spool of extra-strong white fly tying thread made from gel-spun polyethylene with a slight twist for smooth tying.
This is a 200 denier white gel-spun polyethylene thread from Veevus, wound 75 meters to the spool. It lays flat as you wrap, which suits spinning and stacking deer hair on bass poppers, divers and large saltwater flies. Cinch down gradually, since a thread this strong can cut soft materials if you pull hard all at once.
Best for
- Tying large freshwater and saltwater fly patterns
- Hair spinning and bodywrap applications
- Tyers building advanced patterns that need strong thread
Skip if
- You need monofilament tying thread for delicate work
Strengths
- Gel-spun polyethylene is the strongest thread material after Veevus brand
- Slight twist prevents thread from splitting apart during tying
- Lays completely flat and spins hair smoothly
Trade-offs
- GSP thread is significantly stiffer than traditional fly thread
- The strength and texture make it less suitable for very small, delicate flies
- White color shows through some translucent fly materials
