JRG 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2010 Gnats use it for dental floss. "Gnats use it for dental floss" love it! Well, the only thing I can think of is making a tool that holds a spool that you can run the thread through a "splitter" (doesn't have to be fancy) and re-spool each strand.

waterloosunset 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2010 I used the Uni Caenis 20 Denier thread last night and it formed a very neat and smooth whip finish and produced very very little build up. My worry is that when I take it fishing, the slippy nature of this monofilament combined with the fact that it is just one strand, will make the whip finish come undone, as I don't use varnish on my flies. I have this image in my head of the turns of the thread not blending into eachother. I need a smooth, multifilament thread in low diameter that doesn't lie too flat. Gudebrod 10/0 fits that description but heartbreakingly it's not in production anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gudebrod 10/0 fits that description but heartbreakingly it's not in production anymore. Chris Helm at WhiteTail Fly Tying still has Gudebrod 10/0 thread in some colors. He bought the remaining supply in bulk spools, and had them re-spooled into 100 yard amounts. He has it listed on page 21 in his on-line catalog for $2.50 per 100 yard spool. If he still has the white, you could color it any color you would want with a marker. Regards, Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Mark Thanks Mark, I've sent him an e-mail about shipping prices - hopefully it's not something like $20 to ship the thread to Europe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
