Fly-tying threads
Fly-tying threads for securing materials, building turns and finishing flies and streamers. Start with SYBAI Mono Thread in three diameters and two colours. Choose Clear or Black Smoke to suit the appearance of the pattern, and match the diameter to the space available on the hook. Use monofilament for shrimp, scuds and translucent streamer heads; each product lists its exact spool length.

Choose the thread to suit the pattern
The thread secures the materials and contributes to the shape of the finish. Consider its diameter, colour and the way you want to use it. A finer diameter creates smaller individual turns; a larger one takes up more space on the hook. The number of layers and the room left behind the hook eye also affect the result.
SYBAI Mono Thread for shrimp and streamer heads
Monofilament thread consists of one continuous strand. SYBAI recommends it for bonefish patterns, scuds, shrimp and translucent streamer heads. Clear is the clear option, while Black Smoke adds a smoky dark tone. Choose from 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 mm diameters; check each product for the winding length and pack contents.
Prepare your tying tools
Check that the spool fits your bobbin holder and that the selected diameter feeds freely through its tube. Set the tension for smooth unwinding. After tying, secure the loose end in a slot in the cap. Find the other components of your pattern in fly-tying materials and choose equipment for the bench in fly-tying tools.
