A quick question. Thanks.
How does jig thread compare in diameter with 6/0 or 3/0? The link
goes to a page selling jig thread which mentions it is a size A.
Size A is supposed to be fine (not heavy), but how does it compare
in diameter to 6/0 or 3/0 tying thread?
The word "fine" is what throws you off. It's "Fine" for rod building
thread. But it's several times the diameter of 3/0 thread.
Put in simple terms, it's much heavier than fly tying thread. Well,
maybe it's about the size of the Kevlar thread that's used for tying
deer hair.
I'm glad to see that we are starting to use actual measurements (70
denier, 140 denier, etc.) instead of letters. When we use thread
designations of 3/0, 8/0, A, D, etc., we're still working in
confusion like we were back in the days of "HGH" designations for
fly lines.
