thread sizes

[Dryrod]

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]After tying a number of flies you will get the feel as to how much stress an 8/0 will take compared to a 3/0. Seldom will I break the thread unless I am not paying attention and nick it on the point of the hook. Hate when I do that. I have 3 or 4 spools of 14/0 thread made by Sheer but just in the basic colors. When I first started tying I hardly had a good variety of colors so I used regular household polyester thread and lightly coated it with bees wax to enhance it's strength. No one will ever know, well except the 1 billion or so people that access the internet each day. LOL[/size][/#008000][/font]
