I can tie in breathers on midge larvae and still slip a tiny silver-lined glass bead head on. I can't do so with thicker thread on the hooks I prefer using. I see they have stomach thread(?), I'd like to know what that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 i use 8/0 for breathers on buzzers. 2 wraps of thread and slide the bead over the butt ends. wrap the thread over the bead and finish tying the fly. if you look at the chart on the website it gives you each threads breaking strength Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrequentTyer 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 I remember thinking 8/0 was small! Now I'm using 14/0 on a lot of stuff. I can't imagine using anything smaller without getting my bifocals upgraded. and what in the world is "stomach thread?? Maybe it is to build up an under body (abdomen = stomach)?

TitanFlies 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 I used Guderbrod (sp?) 45 denier... it might be equivalent to 14/0? No clue, the ought system is weird. But damn it might me my favorite thread even thought I only have it in grey - still looks okay on most flies though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planettrout 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 From the source: Stomach Thread: "The main function of it, is to help you build up a nice body, fast. However, the stomach thread has a few other functions that will make your work a lot easier. We hope to have some videos ready within a few weeks where we will show - What it can be used for, and How." PHOTO BY: Finn Jensen Here are some comparative breaking strengths (straight pull) from Veevus: “For those interested who are interested, we compared the breaking-strength for the veevus threads with UNI and Benecchi.” uni 6/0 = around 930g veevus 6/0 = above 1kg uni 8/0 = around 450g veevus 8/0 = above 1kg benecchi 10/0 = around 650g veevus 10/0 = around 800g benecchi 12/0 = around 450g veevus 12/0 = around 530g veevus 14/0 = around 520g veevus 16/0 = around 430g ...and these two guys tie with the 10/0 product: The "HOT SPOT" in the second video is Datum "Glo-Brite" Floss which is distributed in the US by Hareline... More will be revealed... PT/TB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishDragon 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 If the 14/0 breaking strength is as high as it claims I may have to order some and give it a shot. Sounds like great stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldtrout58 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2012 Does anyone know if this is a "bonded" thread like Uni or can it be split? The strength to size seems very good. Per the website, they do not sell to individuals, so where can we buy this super thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
