Darn, darn, darn!
I've learned through harsh experience never to ask the question "what else can go wrong?" But with Mustad giving up it's traditional hooks for a new, improved (and more expensive) version and Monocord 3/0 being discontinued, I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop. Let's see: Peacocks have become extinct? Denny has given up the hackle business? Epoxy glue not available to individual citizens? I love 3/0 Moncord for bass flies. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 8T ;(

Jann's sells it for 1.20/spool in lots of 12. If buying direct from Danville is much cheaper, I'd say find a couple buddies and order a box of all your favorite colors.
good idea but i dont think danville sells retail
No effect on me, Norm. I don't tye fly's with rope.

Lesson 1: What catches fish Vs: What catches fisherman's money.
I have lifetime supply of Gudebrod 3/0, 6/0, 8/0 & 10/0 because I stocked up when the "discontinued" news first broke. Now like most good things fly tying, it's no longer available.
If you like 3/0 Danville Monocord, NOW is the time to get what you can!
And no, 3/0 Uni ain't the same critter.
Maybe there is hope in a reoccurrence similar to Gudebrods reintroduction of the Classic Twist for the rod builders out there. S'pose?
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
I have been using Danville 210 Dernier Flymaster Plus as a substitute for the 3/0 monocord. It is a bit thicker than the 3/0 monocord and stronger. I still have a dozen spools of monocord but only two white which I use extensively for warmwater and saltwater streamer patterns. I am reserving those for flies sizes 6 or smaller and using the Flymaster Plus 210 on stuff up to size 1 or 1/0. I use Danville Flat Waxed Nylon on the larger stuff.
Noticed today that Wholesale Sports alias Sportsman's Warehouse has a good supply of Monocord...many colors ...
and also Danville's 210...
Incidentally it appears they are replacing at least some of their fly tying inventory and adding some new brands...
Nice but not likely!

It would be nice to see 3/0 Monocord come back but I don't believe that we'll see a second reintroduction. Take care! 8T
