Who makes 50/0 thread?? How much finer can it be than THE LATE 10/0 Gudebrod thread (RIP)?

I like it. I use them for my 50/0 thread for size 32's.

Just go to the EBay home page and search for bobbins in "fly tying materials and supplies". There are at least three possible sources for the small bobbins listed right now. Also, check with Byard at Line's End first. One or the best sources for a Midge Bobbin is the Griffin "PeeWee", and I know he can get them, if he doesn't carry them in stock. -- Joe Fusco, Sr. Member of The Missouri Trout Fishermen's Association and The Virtual Fly Box REMEMBER CANCER IS A WORD NOT A SENTENCE Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 12/2/06, Neville Gosling <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: I'm not sure that it is exactly the same thread - Similar maybe but possibly not the same. I have considered transferring the thread from the Gutterman spools to the small sewing machine spools that are readily available, however the narrow bobbins used for these sewing machine spools have become difficult to find. I believe Matarelli used to list a "midge" style bobbin for these spools but I haven't seen one in a long time. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.

Yes ... Hit the link and follow the brands link to Gudebrod. It is a textile thread so you can find it in the Sewing stores. That's disappointing though for those of you that really enjoyed being part of their pro team! According to the article the bobbins used for sewing are a different size so you will have to get an adjustable bobbin or try a saltwater bobbin I'm pretty sure Byard carries bobbins that would work on this kind of spool. You should still be able to get your favorite threads though.
