I'll answer the questions in one reply. Wayne: I'm not "Paul of UNI" because I've never worked for UNI. The founder of UNI-Products, the late Jean-Guy Côté, was a very good friend. I wrote the booklet for his company. Neville: One of the biggest misconceptions is that the companies named on the spools are thread manufacturers, none are. Thread manufacturers are huge companies, think DuPont for example. They have plants around the world servicing one of the largest industries, clothing. In my first post you'll note that I keep referring to "respoolers" because that's what the fly-tying thread companies are. They buy commercial spools of thread and respool them onto the little spools we use. You don't believe that Climax makes the material for their tippet spools? The reason why UNI labels now say "Spain" for example instead of "Canada" is because of a change in the way US Customs interpreted the importation regulations. Originally the amount of value added (spools, labels, wax, respooling) was sufficient to label "Made in Canada", they then decided the source of the base material was the controlling factor, so ..... Tony: I agree, the 10/0 is smaller than 8/0, 12/0(?) and 14/0(?). Optical measurement is meaningless for comparing a flat thread to a twisted filament thread. What are you going to measure, the flat side or the thin side? Breaking strength is measurable, but doesn't say anything about diameter. The article by Chris Helm unfortunately had quite a few errors.
