Get Danville size "E" thread from Moore's Lures. Stamina might have it, too. Use a good head cement that penetrates the thread to finish them. | |||

E is the strongest. A the lightest. | |||

Posts: 132 | Dick, you have probably tied more bucktails than all of us put together. Is "E" what you always use? Thanks. | ||

Actually I use A, the finest. Wraps tight, really looks better than the heavy thread. Once you get used to using it, it isn't a problem with breakage. Dick | |||

Location: Minnesota | For the amount of baits I tie (1200) last year, I use a 100% nylon upholstery/embroidery thread from T. J. Elias Sales in Minneapolis. Edited by captnkeno 11/10/2006 12:03 PM | ||

Posts: 281 Location: Girdwood, Alaska | I used to use E sized thread, but Then I tried using the D and liked it a lot better. It looks much neater when you are done with it and is much easier to work with. | ||

Posts: 16 | I use Gordon Griffiths Cobweb 2 thread, made in the UK it's a 3/0 size thread and very good. I bought some of their stock as they're out of business now. If anyone wants Fluorescent Green I have 8000m( 1m+ approx 1yd) spools for $15.00+shipping. I bought all the green for a guy tying jigs in Florida but he's gone bust so....
