dead_horse_bay_fisher 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 That somes it up. I read the article on furled leaders and they specify uni-thread. I want to know if that's any different than the Danville's thread that I use. Thanks in advance, dc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 6, 2006 Uni thread is round where Danville thread is mostly flat. I've never done furled leaders so I dont know what issues that could cause. :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 7, 2006 Uni thread is twisted and twisted thread is stronger than untwisted. It make sense that furled leaders would require Uni. For tying I don't use Uni thread, it builds up too much bulk for what I'm trying to tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dead_horse_bay_fisher 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 Ya gotta try a furled leader. Starting out to make one is a real pain at first, but you can quickly productionize the whole affair. I'm a new fly fisher and have just started to get my casting down. Furled leaders makes it a breeze. Thanks all for the info on the Uni-Thread. dc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 This fly tying catalogue has a great table (see pages 16 and 17) comparing different threads http://www.whitetailflytieing.com/PDF/Catalog2006.pdf Thanks Smalliehunter for posting previously. I have not ordered from these guys, but they have one of the most informative catalogues I've ever seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
