Uni 1/0 Neon Fluo Tying Thread brings bold fluorescent colour and impressive strength to modern fly tying, making it a popular choice for streamers, salmon flies, predator patterns and bright trigger-point details. Designed by Uni Products, this fluorescent fly tying thread combines high visibility with the durability needed for larger and more demanding fly patterns.
Uni 1/0 Neon Fluo Tying Thread is an extra strong fly tying thread supplied on 50 yard spools and developed for tying larger, brighter and more robust fly patterns. Widely used for streamers, salmon flies and saltwater flies, the thread provides the strength needed when securing bulkier materials such as bucktail, marabou, synthetic fibres and large hackles.
The fluorescent finish makes this neon hot spot material particularly useful for adding visibility within modern lure designs. Many fly tyers use bright fluorescent threads to create hotspots behind beads, fluorescent heads, tags or thorax sections where fish can key in on movement and contrast. In stillwaters and coloured rivers, these bright accents can often help flies stand out more effectively.
