Wonder why it doesn't work? It is an Adobe from the looks
Mac, 3/0 is generally for larger flies or even tying Hair in for stacking.
You can use larger thread on smaller hooks but it adds allot of bulk and you can't add as many wraps.
For example, if I was to use 3/0 on a #30 hook, I would only be able to add maybe 5 or 6 wraps before it would get too bulky.
I am going to do a rough guess here.
3/0 on hooks like #2 to #8
6/0 on hooks #2 to #14
8/0 on hooks #2 to #22
10 or 14/0 Sheer #14 to #32
As you can see, you can limit your threads and the cost if you buy an all around size like 6/0 or 8/0.
