I have been using danvilles 210 danier. I have not been doing this long but that is what I was told to buy. It seems to work good for me but Its all i've used so far.

Try this:
DANVILLE THREAD 210

Great service if you've never ordered from him before. That's what I use when I can. It's round and doesn't fray as easy as the flat waxed nylon if you have cheap bobbins or put lots of pressure on the thread. You only really need white and black, red if you do thread necks.

For those of you who know is 210 denier the same as 6/0? I buy 6/0 for my tying.

[quivira kid]

MG, they're close to the same. I use Danville 210 and Uni 6/0 for my tying... On small (1/64 and 1/80 oz) stuff, I'll put some Uni 8/0 in the bobbin sometimes.

3/0 is 210 denier. Uni's 6/0 does seem stronger than Danville's.

140 is what I use for everything. Unless I get a bad spool I never break it. 210 is fine but bulky for me. I have 6/0 and I hate it. Is okay for some tying but breaks a lot easier than anything else I have ever used. It also doesn't hold stiff hair like bucktail very well for me.
