A useful tying thread that can be worked into most saltwater flies as well as translucent freshwater flies like scuds, sowbugs, and mysis shrimp, Veevus’ Mono Thread is tough to beat. Veevus Mono Thread is single-stranded, strong, and comes in a couple sizes and the colors black and clear to suit all of your needs. Mono thread is a staple for saltwater flies and provides translucency that just can’t be found anywhere else--Bob Popovics exclusively uses Mono Thread for his flies, whether he’s tying his famous Surf Candy, Hollow Fleye, or an Ultra Shrimp. Versatile and strong, Veevus Mono Thread should have a spot reserved on everyone’s tying desk.
Uses
Veevus’ Mono Thread is a versatile tying thread with a range of applications. This thread is a favorite for saltwater fly tyers due to its durability, strength, and translucency; although, freshwater anglers can also work it into their patterns and it makes an excellent ribbing material on nymphs, scuds, sowbugs, and shrimp. Also, when combined with epoxy or UV Resins, Veevus’ Mono Thread disappears, which makes it a great choice for finishing heads on streamers, shrimp, squid, and other translucent baits.
Comparisons
Mono Threads can be used for a ton of different tying purposes and a few similar threads exist. UNI-Mono is a close alternative to Veevus’ Mono Thread in that it’s also single-stranded and quite strong, but where it differs is that it doesn’t come in any color but clear. So for those of us looking to boldly rib flies or use a darker translucent option, Veevus’ Mono Thread is a better choice.
Example Flies
Most popular for saltwater tying, Mono Thread can be used for flies like the Surf Candy, Bucktail Deceiver, Crazy Charlies, and the Beast Fleye as well as many others.
