I like the Uni spools. The spools the Danville thread comes on seems to have a bur where they cut the notch to hold the thread end. It gets caught on the side of your bobbin and causes the thread to break. Uni products are of very good quality in my mind. About the only Danville thread I use is their flat waxed nylon for spinning deer hair. Tight lines, Pete

Hi, I'm a bamboo fly rod maker from the northcentral part of PA. My fishing is torn between small mountain streams for brookies and pond fishing for bass and bream. Its always a struggle to decide where to go. Not a bad thing. I have a website you can Check out. Tight lines, Pete
