On the 210 Denier thread is the flat waxed or No wax the better of choice. Want to get some but as always there are to many options. I want to use this for tying micro jigs using kip tail.
I know I want 210 Denier but now I am stuck on what type is better for this type of tying.
The flat waxed or No wax
Thanks Doc
i like the flat waxed.
I like the waxed the best by far.

I thought I used big thread fer little stuff when using the 140.
Waxed for sure. Much easier to use for most tying.
waxed also
the waxed is better for not fraying or catching on your rough fingertips when whip finishing by hand. probably want to get a spool or two of the 140 denier too at some point.
Flat waxed (FW) thread lays better for me. It nearly blends into itself. I find this to be a pretty nice feature when tying hair onto collared jigs. The end result looks more appealing to my eyes, rather than a rounded thread that may have been wound at various angles. I usually roll rounded thread onto jig collars with my vise rather than hand wind. I simply hand wind with FW thread.
Just an FYI for hair jig tying... I find FW thread with a denier of 70 works very well for me on collared jigs of 1/16 oz. or less.
messing wit the 140 right now and it seems to be working pretty well like the hold and the strength of it so farQuote:

No matter what you're tying always used the waxed it just makes tying that much easier.
