Nothing worse than spinning deer hair or attaching foam to a hook and having the thread break. This thread will not break. Curt says it soaks up head cement and glues much better than many standard fly tying threads.
One last thing....Curt swears by 3 colors...orange, gray and olive. I made the switch to Dual Duty and my flies are much more durable.
Try Joann's if you have a store locally or here is a link.
this stuff is really good thread for flies 14 and up.
ReplyDeleteon smaller flies it builds up too quick and is a bit lumpy.
i use two knots to finish my flies off. i've had several single knotted flies undone by rambunctious fish.
dual duty seems to be THE sewing thread, so it's about everywhere i've looked.
joann's does carry it in glow in the dark. i've used it and gitd flashabou on some clousers.
