Fly Tyer Guy 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 Have you seen this new thread from UNI? 20/0 :bugeyes: It's getting ridiculous how small they are making thread now!!!!!!!! http://www.jsflyfishing.com/cgi-bin/item/T...nis-Thread.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 yeah, I guess it's all in the spirit of art. If anyone can make a fly so small they need that, then they are at the top of the artform. Maybe instead of gassing all the black widows around my house, I should be collecting the silk. I could sell it as 'stronger than steel' super eeny-weeny thread. ???

Soft-hackle 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 I have a friend that sometimes ties on 32s. Didn't know they made hooks that small. Didn't know anyone could see them. Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashley 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 I tie lots of small dries and nymphs, so I need. Shame they don't do it in brown. I'll have some of that black widow cob web while I'm at it as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisbarnett 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 AWESOME! Can't wait to order some from the fly shop now. I love the 17/0 trico from them, and am sure I will like this one even better. UNI rocks! Is it labeled baetis thread? there was a thread by uni called baetis which was 20/0 i believe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 uni's 17/0 has been out for awhile and its not much bigger 17/0 Trico. A fine polyester thread for tying micro flies. Finesse and smooth hands are necessary. Unwaxed; white. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelie 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 Good Day, I too really like these small threads. not only for small flies but even up to size 14. Less bulk and better flies for me. Not to mention how they are invaluable to the realistic tyer! Got to hide those thread wraps! Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
