Danville Flat Waxed Nylon Thread is a trusted, heavy-duty fly tying thread built for patterns that demand strength, control, and clean coverage. Made from continuous-filament waxed nylon, this 210-denier thread offers excellent tensile strength while maintaining a flat profile that lays smoothly on the hook shank to reduce bulk. Whether you're tying saltwater flies, bonefish patterns, large streamers, steelhead flies, or durable egg patterns, this thread gives you the holding power needed for secure, long-lasting flies.
Its flat construction makes it especially useful for building smooth heads, covering material quickly, and applying strong, even pressure without creating unnecessary bulk.
