Troutline Gel Spun Ultra Flat Thread 50DEN 100m

This exceptional strength doesn't compromise the thread's diameter, making it perfect for crafting flat and smooth bodies on smaller fly models. Gel Spun Ultra Flat Thread, composed of slightly twisted continuous fibers, facilitates the split-thread technique with remarkable ease. Its silky and shiny texture provides versatility, allowing for color customization with permanent markers. Our Gel Spun Ultra Flat Thread is suitable for dry flies, nymphs, wet flies, and streamers at the same time.

A significant advantage lies in its application to your fly without adding bulk to the bodies, enabling you to tie smaller flies than before. When crafting dubbing bodies, we recommend using tying wax for enhanced fur adhesion, or alternatively, employing the split thread technique for excellent results.
