# **How to Choose Fly Tying Thread: 2 Spools of Glow in the Dark, Phosphorescent 50-Yard Spools**
As an angler, selecting the right fly tying thread is crucial for creating durable and effective flies. Whether you’re tying delicate dry flies or robust streamers, the thread you choose can significantly impact your fly’s performance. In this guide, we’ll explore how to select the best fly tying thread, with a special focus on **KyleBooker’s Glow in the Dark, Phosphorescent 50-Yard Spools**—an excellent choice for night fishing and low-light conditions.
## **Understanding Fly Tying Thread Basics**
Fly tying thread serves two primary purposes:
1. **Binding Materials** – It securely wraps and holds feathers, fur, and synthetic materials in place.
2. **Structural Support** – It reinforces the fly’s body and ensures longevity.
When choosing thread, consider the following factors:
### **1. Thread Thickness (Denier or Size)**
Fly tying threads come in various thicknesses, typically measured in **denier** (thickness of individual fibers) or by a standardized size (e.g., 6/0, 8/0, 140 denier).
– **Thin Threads (6/0, 8/0, 12/0)** – Best for small flies like midges and dry flies.
– **Medium Threads (3/0, 140 denier)** – Versatile for nymphs and streamers.
– **Thick Threads (210 denier, GSP)** – Ideal for large saltwater flies or heavy-duty patterns.
KyleBooker’s **Glow in the Dark Thread** is available in a medium thickness (50-yard spools), making it suitable for a wide range of fly patterns while ensuring durability.
### **2. Material & Strength**
Common thread materials include:
– **Nylon** – Strong, smooth, and widely used.
– **Polyester** – More abrasion-resistant than nylon.
– **Gel-Spun Polyethylene (GSP)** – Extremely strong and thin, great for saltwater flies.
KyleBooker’s phosphorescent thread is made from high-quality **nylon**, offering both strength and flexibility. The glow-in-the-dark feature adds an extra advantage for attracting fish in murky water or nighttime conditions.
### **3. Color & Visibility**
Thread color can influence fly appearance:
– **Matching the fly body** – Use thread that blends in (e.g., black, brown, olive).
– **High-visibility colors** – Help with tying precision (e.g., white, fluorescent).
– **Glow in the Dark** – Perfect for night fishing or deep water where light penetration is low.
The **KyleBooker Phosphorescent Thread** emits a soft glow after being exposed to light, making it highly effective for attracting fish like trout, bass, and panfish in low-light scenarios.
### **4. Glow-in-the-Dark Performance**
Not all glow threads are equal. KyleBooker’s thread is designed for:
– **Long-lasting phosphorescence** – Holds a charge well after brief light exposure.
– **Smooth tying experience** – No brittleness or fraying, unlike cheaper alternatives.
– **50-yard spools** – Provides ample supply for multiple flies.
## **Why Choose KyleBooker’s Glow in the Dark Thread?**
