UTC ULTRA THREAD 280 DENIER NYLON Premium fly-tying thread! Designed for tying the largest saltwater flies, spinning hair on bass bugs and as a substitute for floss for boides and ribs. Use 280 on any large fly where you need the thread to be very bulky, such as building up a tapered head on a large saltwater streamer. Engineered specifically for fly tying, available in 8 colors and carefully develped to enhance tying performance. Features include: Nylon chosen instead of polyester since nylon stretches, grips material better and colors are more intense; the thread is flat rather than oval or round with the minimum number of twists allowing for slow build-up of thread on the hook; thread is lightly waxed resulting in slower thread build-up and and better penetration of head cement; thread is monofilament - not bonded - especially beneficial for split thread tying techniques; spools are sized and designed to turn smoothly on standard bobbins.
