Wapsi Ultra Thread 140 Denier Fl Orange – Durable Fly Tying Thread

Meet Ultra Thread 140 Denier

Ultra Thread is a strong, flat, and smooth nylon thread designed specifically for fly tying. The 140 Denier construction provides a steady, controlled feed that many tiers appreciate when building wraps for a wide range of patterns. The thread is lightly waxed to help you manage tension without feeling greasy or sticky, and its moderate rigidity supports consistent, clean wraps as you work through your tippet and bodies.

Designed with general purpose use in mind, Ultra Thread shines on trout flies in sizes 6 to 16. Its balanced strength—about two pounds of breaking force—helps prevent unexpected breakages while you learn proper techniques, and its not-too-bulky profile keeps delicate patterns crisp and true. Each spool delivers substantial yardage (100 yards), so you can tie multiple patterns without frequent refill breaks, whether you’re building classic nymphs, dries, or small streamers.

Why Tier Choose Ultra Thread

• Flat, smooth nylon creates clean, durable wraps with minimal bulk
• Light waxing provides controlled tension for easy feeding through wraps
• Rugged enough for reliable strength without overpowering delicate patterns
• Generous 100 yard spool supports long tying sessions
• Available in 4 sizes and 33 colors to match a wide range of flies

Whether you’re new to fly tying or building a versatile kit, Ultra Thread offers a dependable baseline that supports accuracy and consistency. The fluorescent orange variant adds visibility during tying and can serve as a bold option for certain pattern accents or underbody visibility, depending on your fly design. Consider Ultra Thread for general use, and explore its color options to complement or contrast with your chosen materials.

Tips for Using Ultra Thread

• Pair with appropriate hooks and patterns in the 6–16 size range for trout fly work
• Experiment with tension to find the balance between wrap security and body profile
• Use color strategically to highlight key features or to coordinate with your fly palette
