 Fly Tying threads by Superior Threads

Several lines of Superior's threads can be used for tying flies.  Our Silk threads are common for wrapping bodies and our Glitter Hologram (Glitter Tinsel) is wonderful for adding flash.  Our spools are not uniform in size in comparison to other Fly Fishing thread brands.
