Oh my gosh Brian!! Thank you~~ 🙈🙈🙈 You are so amazing 🥰Learning so much from your videos!!
Good breakdown. I have a bin full of assorted threads I am thinning out to narrow down my favorite.
Great video. Cleared up a few things for me
Great video as always! Learned a few things and will keep them in mind when choosing my next thread and I will defintetly try to test the stretchyness of my nylon thread. Your channel is a gold mine!
Thanks for watching!!
Excellent video man!
I really have struggled with this problem over the years and have thread chart at mt tying desk. Good to hear your well done video reminding us the difference. I wish you had also waxed thread vs non waxed.
Glad it helped!
Enjoyed the tutorial on threads. When you mention stretch when you tie that might be the stretch of the thread material, or the tightening of the material on the hook. You have calibrated your feel on the thread you like to use with a pull strength that works. As you state GSP has little stretch and a very high breaking strength. Nice example with breaking the hook. When you use GSP it really tightens down on the shank and makes a very good thread for spinning deer hair. The load carrying capacity of a thread depends on two attributes a) material and b) cross-sectional area. And the latter doesn’t change If a thread is corded up or flattened. As the thread is twisted up, or flattened, it changes how it wraps around the hook, how it engages with material on the hook, and changes how it bulks up.
Video was good! Did not know that about GSP that it does not stretch. Thanks!
I usually just look at what color I need..then start pulling until it breaks..then I know.😑😂. Mostly tie streamers for bass..but enjoy tying all flies just for experience. Thanks for all you do to help us out Brian. Much appreciated! 👍👍🎣
I love Your channel👍!
Cannot understand how/why people tie using border line/ thin thread for small flies ,i always use a thick nylon thread for all size flies but when using it on small flies just don't use tons of wraps .That way i don't keep snapping it, phew i don't know if i have explained that properly, any way thank you yet again for your info and help .All the best , David.
The Denier system is a physical standard, and is an expression for the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of thread - equaling 29,500 feet, 9,840 yards, or 5.6 miles.
The reason for this seemingly odd measure is that 9,000 meters of silkworm silk allegedly weighs one gram and has set the base unit - 1 Denier. Spin a thread of 100 strands of silk, and you get a 100 Denier silk thread.
The measure is widely used in the textile industry...along with a TON of other measurements like Tex and Decitex, etc.
TL;DR (since most youtubers dont read comments for some reason LOL!) The Denier of a thread is the WEIGHT of 9000 meters of the thread in GRAMS. Not now many strands the thread has. HOWEVER 9000 meters of 1 strand of thread indeed weigh the same as the denier number.
I am smart enough to understand 3% of that. (and I read comments) :)
Thanks for your hard work at producing these videos. And, could you add a link to the Boker knife? Thanks
Thanks! Here is the knife:

I use mostly veevus but I also use utc and they each have their purpose
I love Veevus. I like to do split thread techniques with it. Great colors, good feel.
@@trendyfly I use it for a lot of spilt thread techniques mostly in 16/0 but I also use utc, uni, semperfli and sone other threads depending on the pattern
Well done.
Thanks for watching!
Can you do a video on craft fur?
A Craft Fur video is on my short-list!
Mono, GSP, Nylon, Polyester (most common), real silk, kevlar and cotton (for the cheap crap people get on amazon)
Beginners should make lots of lock knots, to secure what they have done right, before breaking the thread by mistake, and atching the whooole damn fly wind up and fall to pieces. Even "cheating varnishing" knots during the proces, to make the fly live longer, is OK. And when you're cleaning up at the water after the last "nature lovers" roll the fireline/others up, and use it for fx mudlers, that need strong threads. Win win
If denier & ots are too difficult to understand, get put ur 10ths venier calipers & measure the thread 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fly tying hobby should get rid of thread size contradictions where small number is big and vice-versa. Same with hook sizes. Even a 5 year old knows 8 is larger than 6.
Cool shirt!! But you’re not an extra medium size anymore!! Lol
Dude, for real........ #dadbod
