Great Video...I've tried them all and still like the Danville Flymaster for the 70denier size(Trout Size). I like the Gordon Griffiths Shear for the little bugs. Tiemco thread is still a favorite for the little bugs too but Planet Trout may have the remaining world supply before they stopped making it.Newbie fly tyers often ask about the various fly tying thread.

I've heard the Gordon Griffiths mentioned a few times. No one I know (usually do business with) sells it. It is what Hans Weilenmann uses. I just tied one of his patterns. I'll have to find some and give it a try!Great Video...I've tried them all and still like the Danville Flymaster for the 70denier size(Trout Size).

His info videos are very informative. I am in my off-season tying craze and just watched this one on thread and his other on bobbins. Great information. Have never tried gel spun thread as I have so much Uni and UTC. His bobbin video did give me the case of the wants for new bobbins.Kelly Galloup and his thoughts:
You know...like people who don't like mRNA vaccines. They're science deniers. Or the people who think Trump won in 2020, they're election deniers.What's a denier?
