Great fly tying thread at a really nice price.

Good value if youre starting out with fly tying. They function well and the thread is durable enough to pinch down some tougher fly tying materials.

Would like too see stronger thread strength

Good value

As a beginning fly tyer I have no problem with the thread though I found it heard to get get the size that I wanted. I wound up going to a local fly shop to get the size I wanted.

This product seems to break when I go to pull any kind of tension on the thread

I really like this thread. Works great and a good price.

The thread definitely will work and I've tied plenty of flies with these. It's also one of the few combos with multiple colors that you can easily find. It's also relatively strong for it's diameter which is good when you're starting out and learning how much pressure to use when tying.That being said, this type of thread is not what you really want to tie with. It is essentially a braided thread which means when you lay it on the hook, it keeps it's cylindrical "ropey" shape. In contrast, a lot of typical fly tying thread can be laid flat on your hook as your tie. This results in a less ropey texture and let's you create more even tapers and build less bulk on you fly. Because of the ropey nature of this thread you will notice uneveness and weird bumps of thread on your flies, and it can also cut delicate feathers and other material if wrapped too tightly.If you're really sold on the color variety, you can actually just get a quality white tying thread and use permanent marker to color it your desired color as needed.
