This is a polyester fly tying thread kit in 6/0, with 150 yards on the spool and six colors to cover common fly patterns. A 6/0 thread suits trout flies in sizes 4 to 20, and it gives newer tiers a forgiving weight to practice with. Pick it if you want one set of colors for building a starter fly box.
