Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for fly tying on hook sizes 6 to 14, so it may be less suitable when your patterns call for much larger or much smaller hooks.
- The two-core thread lays flat, but it can be split for dubbing loops only when that extra step is needed in the pattern.
- This is a waxed polyester tying thread, which is a specific material choice rather than a universal option for every tying preference.
- The Wood Duck color is a single finish, so matching or blending may require selecting a different thread color from the range.
