old bamboo fly rod
#9
Silk isn't hard to find at all. Look in rod building magazines or on line. Check YLI, K.N.K, and Pearsall/Gossamer The Pearsall is a little thinner than the other two) Plus Silk is awesome for flies.
But you will need to put a color preserver if you want to keep the color on Silk.

Here is a fly example. It is regular red thread covered with WHITE silk:

then when wet, the silk disappears:

I call the fly...TRANSFORMER C

Silk is awesome!!!! And Classic!
