bulltrout Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 depends on the size of the hook...for anything larger than size 2, i use A+ Monocord by Uni and anything size 2 and smaller, i use just regular 6/0 for good deer hair and 3/0 for crappy hair....

cheeler Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 You can also try kevlar or gel spun polyethylene thread if you need something strong for big flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I second the use of Kevlar. You can get a few different colours, but I usually use black. Use some old scissors to cut it as it dulls blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like GSP. 200 is a bit thick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0Danger Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have big fly but i dont find it cuts though the deer hair, rather it lies on top and squashes the hairs. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
