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.
