scotth 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2007 Hello All...When would you switch from Thread to Cord if both are a similar size? I have 7/0 UniCord and 6/0 & 8/0 UniThread. Thanks! Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ten Bears 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2007 These are excerpts from the UNI website: UNI-Cord (7/0 and 12/0) is an extremely strong ( for the same diameter it is twice as strong as Kevlar) fly-tying thread manufactured of continuous fibers of gel-spun polyethylene (GSP). It is considerably more expensive than other threads and so is reserved for unusual situations where a fine but very strong thread is required. 8/0 UNI-Thread is the favorite fine fly-tying thread of fly tiers all over the world. Noted for being exceedingly strong for its diameter. It is used and recommended by many noted fly-tiers/authors such as Jack Dennis, Bob Lindquist, Dick Talleur and Paul Marriner. 8/0 UNI-Thread is made of continuous polyester filaments, slightly bonded, which ties flat on the hook and comes wax or unwaxed in 23 « hatch-matching » colours. Spools wound with either 50 or 200 yards of thread are available. 6/0 UNI-Thread is a general fly-tying thread of continuous polyester filaments. The wide range of twenty-five colours meets virtually all fly-tying needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
