Hi Norm. It says they've renewed their thread so they must have made it at one time. I've been tying 30 years and I've never heard of it. But, if it's 16/0 and is as strong as 6/0 & 8/0 I'll give it a try.
Happy New Year,
Bruce

Thanks for the link. 16/0 as strong as 6/0 and 8/0??? what is it mini kevlar thread, for $4.80 a spool it better be way good stuff. Might try it but at that price I can get three spools of regular 6/0 at my local shop on sale for about the same amount, although I really don't need any thread right now.

If anyone gets it and tries it let us know how it handled!!!!

Thanks

Fatman

Limited colors and as expensive as Benecchi. Pass.

I will succumb and order a couple of spools and give it a try.
And let Ya'All know what I think. Thanks Norm

i was okay with 14/0, does the world need 16/0?

Ha, ha. I just bought some uni trico 17/0

[flybugpa]

i have a few spools and rarely use it. i almost am positive that some of the synthetic materials when tied in with that stuff create friction weakening the thread.i have broken this thread before tying in zelon wings. now the only time i use it is for cdc tricos,when the going gets tough in late summer.

uni caenis is about 19/0-20/0
