T_Bone 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2012 So I bought a large lot of tying materials and tools a while back to get me started tying. The draw back was there all all kinds of materials and stuff I've had trouble identifying. My question is.... I have this thread that I have been using occasionally that is awesome. It has no label on the spool, but it seems like a very waxy, flat single strand. It is very strong. Any ideas what I could be talking about? I think I would like to find it in other colors for tying different patterns. If you have any ideas as to what I am using I'm very interested in finding out. Thanks, T~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T_Bone 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 I do not believe it is kevlar. I bought some black kevlar and I hate it! I notice if there is ever an uncalculated drop or bumb of the bobbin the thread loosens up, It practically unwinds half way down the hook. IT REALLY TORQUES ME! So I just don't torture myself with it any more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
