Fshflys 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2012 I see catgut on ebay, size 3/0 4/0 5/0 & 0. So is 5/0 smaller than 3/0 or the other way around? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know .... in which I have, I see that 2 is thicker than 1 and 1 is thicker than the 2/0 ... But I think that a doc could give more details about it ... Anyway, I give you a fact, I made my flies with 2/0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
