UTC Ultra Thread 140 Denier Watery Olive – Fly Tying Thread, 100 yd

Overview

UTC Ultra Thread is a purpose-built fly tying thread crafted for anglers who value control and consistency. Crafted from nylon, it offers a deliberate stretch and a secure grip, helping you maintain even tension across wraps and yield a clean, durable finish. The Watery Olive color adds depth and visibility across a range of light conditions, making it a versatile choice for many patterns.

What makes UTC Ultra Thread stand out

• Engineered specifically for fly tying rather than a generic thread
• Nylon over polyester for enhanced stretch, grip, and vivid color depth
• Flat construction with the minimum twists, reducing build-up when wrapping near the eye
• Lightly waxed for a smoother feel and better penetration by head cement
• Non-bonded multifilament, which supports split-thread techniques
• Spools designed to turn smoothly on standard bobbins and feature color-coded end caps for quick identification
• Each spool contains 100 yards and is offered in multiple sizes and colors

Real-world tying advantages

• Improved tension control, aiding uniform wraps on small dries and detailed patterns
• Fewer wraps needed thanks to flat thread, helping you achieve a neater profile
• Color-rich finishes with a broad palette, including Watery Olive, to match natural tones
• Head cement penetrates the thread for a durable, weather-resistant finish
