Semperfli Nano Silk

For any given thickness Nano Silk is probably the strongest fly tying thread on the planet! Put simply Nano Silk is fine enough to tie on size 32 hooks and strong enough to bend a size 6 hook in the vice! Nano Silk is available in 10 colours including the new Pink and Red colours!!

Many fly tying threads were sourced from the textile industry many years ago and have remained unchanged ever since. Many of these threads are strong enough when used with caution but are prone to snapping at the most inconvenient time (usually just before you whip finish a fly that took 15 minutes to tie!). 

Nano Silk is a modern hi-tech fibre sourced by the Semperfli team which is coloured and spooled by Semperfli to provide the modern fly tyer with a thread to meet their needs

The fact is it’s really up to you... but here are a few tips and tricks from the Semperfli team to get you started.

• Extra strength means flies can be tied “tighter” with more pressure meaning more resilient flies
  Thread breakage is virtually eliminated
• Minimum thickness means “thread build up” is no longer an issue. Slim bodied flies are possible even with many turns of silk as Nano Silk adds virtually no bulk.
• When pulled tight Nano Silk can disappear into the dressing of a fly.
• No need to varnish heads! A simple whip finish can be pulled tight and won’t come undone when fished.
• Multi-strand structure means thread can be split to form dubbing loops.
• Nano Silk is so fine it can doubled up midway through dressing a fly to form a dubbing loop without excess build up
• On complex dressings with many steps half hitches or 2 turn whip finishes can be applied without fear of losing tension or excessive build up


CAUTION!

Nano Silk is stronger than many fly tying tools.  A ceramic bobbin holder is recommended
