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 |
