Pretty easy for me to say, Georgio Benecchi 12/0, but then again, I tie about 4,000 flies a year that are size 22-26. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

Most of my tying for both personal flies and the shop is done with UNI 8/0, when i am tying bombers, buck bugs or large hairwing streamers i will switch to UNI 6/0. I have used thread from Danville, Gudebrod and Wapsi Ultra Thread but find myself coming back to UNI-Products.
Just an indication as to how popular UNI-Thread is, in my shop it out sells the combined totals of all other brands by about 100:1, now that is what i call dominating the market.

Like my flies, I am not a purist. I have used several diffrent threads and continue to use them.
Could it be the way that I tie flies?
I do have some 10/0 that I use on smaller hooks.

8/0 UNI for almost all the type of tying I do. I also use a little Ultra fine mono thread and some fine copper wire as thread on the rare occasion I tie a few dozen small PTs.

Hi Jack,
I'm partial to Danville. 6/0 for most of my tying and Size A (unwaxed) for single strand floss. Take care & ...

I like using the smallest thread I can. I use Gordon Griffith's 14/0 for just about everything, even big streamers if I'm too lazy to change spools of thread on the bobbin. It splits well too for split thread dubbing etc... but it doesn't do hair very well as it tends to cut through it.
My alternative thread is Uni 8/0 for everything else.

Hey Jack,
The Danville 6/0 is my favorite thread. It
builds a good base on the hook fairly quick
but is still small enough to avoid too much
bulk overall. Quality has never been a
problem with it for me. Price is right too.
Warm regards, Jim

I tie mostly with 8/0 UNI with the occassional 6/0 or 3/0 UNI for larger flies.
-
8/0 Uni for 80% of my tying. I also enjoy using Danville 6/0.

Uni thread 8/0 for most patterns. Griffith's 14/0 for small flies.
