Great link Fishigan! And I thought all thread was created equal!

Thanks for help guys! This is the best board! I'm going to try some 6/0 and 8/0 and see how my flys turn out.

I have been tying for a while but have always wondered if there is a specific thread size for a hook size. For instance if I am tying a #18 should I be using a certain thread size like 10/0? I have been using 14/0 lately for a lot of my ties but just wondered if there is a guideline that I should be following. Thx!

I have a renzetti c-clamp that yI use for tying, but I want a pedestal base as well for all of the situations mentioned above, I don't want to pay outrageous prices though. Any good ideas on where to get a good base at a decent price.

It seems like $3.19 is the average in Colorado.

I use a bic pen tube as well. I cut mine down to about 2 1/2 or 3 inches. I am going to try the dowel idea though I like that.

I've looked around on here a little bit and have found some great tying stations but where do you guys store all of your materials when you aren't tying. I don't have room to leave all of my stuff out, so when I'm done tying for the day I have to pack eveything up and put it away. Right now I am using on old tackle box with several plastic containers but I have to take a lot of the stuff out of the original packaging in order to store it. I need some good ideas!

I have been using a renzetti traveler for a couple of years now. It works great! It was upgraded from a cheap one that came with a fly tying kit. It is hard to go back and tie on the one old.

Just found this forum and have been looking around. Thought I better sign up and get going. A fellow flyfisher from Colorado
