Textreme Floss (210 Den.)
Textreme Floss (210 Den.) is a semitexturized, high-resistance thread for building medium-sized fly bodies. Its construction is suited to producing a smooth, even surface, making it useful for patterns where the body should remain orderly rather than strongly textured. It can be used for both dry flies and nymphs, with the number of wraps adjusted to the body profile required by the pattern.
Construction and use
The floss comes on a spool, allowing the tier to draw off only the amount needed at the vise. When forming a body, guide it flat and place successive wraps close together. Consistent tension helps retain an even shape and reduces unwanted gaps. This is a body-building material rather than a preformed component, so the final profile depends on how it is positioned and finished during tying.
