Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Kevlar thread is the perfect choice for tying bass bugs saltwater steelhead salmon and streamer patterns. Many tiers also use it for "spinning" deer and elk hair for hair bugs. This thread is very strong and you can cut yourself with it if you try to break it by hand. This pre-waxed thread is about the size of 2/0 or size "A" thread and builds up fast on the hook.

4 out of 5 stars Kevlar Review   October 6, 2008
Seller was great, got my product fast. I just wish I thought to ask the weight, because I needed something a bit stronger even though Kevlar is supposed to be the strongest stuff on the market. Very pleased with seller, would definitely buy from him again.


5 out of 5 stars As Promised   September 15, 2008
Delivered as promised, good value, good quality. I use kevlar thread for F3P profile models under 5 oz.


4 out of 5 stars Strong, but not colorfast   June 5, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This thread is super strong. You can cut yourself with it if you try to break it with your hands. I even had trouble cutting it with a cheap scissors. It's great for reattaching buttons, especially on high-stress areas like pants. The fabric or button will probably fail before the thread ever does.

On the down side, it's not very colorfast. I used the thread to do some mending, and after about a month's use, the color is completely gone, revealing the native yellowish color of Kevlar. The thread is still intact and holding quite well, it's just not black anymore.
