Hi all,

I was wondering if some of you have any experience with the TMC tyingthread?
For my swap-fly I needed thread that can be easily spliced. Normally I would
use the Marc Petitjean thread for this, but since a friend of mine gave me a
spool I thought to give the new TMC a chance. Up till now I have the
experience that this thread is extremely thin, therefor gives nice small
headif one likes and ties smoothly. Negative aspects are the fact that the
thinness makes splicing the seperate fibers rather difficult, the thread
brakes very easily (even the slightest touching of the hookpoint or
something sharp/rough on the fly makes it break, and also the fact that it
is about twice the the price of other brands (even considering the fact that
there's more thread on a spool than there is with other brands).
Anyone out there to share their experiences?

Greetings,

Hans van der Stroom


Hans,

Given the TMC's fragility, it seems to me the best way to use the TMC
for MP style flys
would be in a dubbing loop rather than splitting it. Still going to be
fragile though.
