I'm confused

[Straycat]

I see where most of you use 210 danville thread but seems like everywhere I look its sized. Like 6/0,3/0,ect. Which is 210? I'm gonna order through Barlows if that helps any.Thanks,Joel

If you want flat waxed nylon (210 denier) through Barlow's, try here.

Wapsi makes ultra thread which is sized in 70,140 and 210.Barlow's sells it and I believe flatfish does as well. Great stuff,strong with a nice color selection. I use it about 90% of the time when I tie.Uni thread comes in 3/0,6/0,8/0.

These numbers are from "Fly Tyer".

Uni 3/0 – 213 denier
Uni 6/0 – 135 denier
Uni 8/0 – 72 denier
Uni Big Fly – 400 denier

Danville Flymaster 6/0 – 79 denier
Danville Flymaster + – 237 denier
Danville Flat Waxed Nylon – 223 denier

Wapsi (Ultra 140 – 140 denier) and UTC (UTC 280 – 280 denier) list thread size in denier.

I use 210 Danville flat waxed and like 140 Ultra as my 2 fav's. I know lots use Uni and like it, but I have not had good time with it at all and prefer not using it. I do have some Ultra in 6/0 because I can't get the color I want in others that I use.
