I’m in the same boat. My plan was using normal thread but I think I’m reconsidering and gonna use what is recommended by those in the know. Danville 210 denier nylon flat waxed thread.... made specifically for this purpose. Not to big and strong so not to break. I’m thinking I could just get a couple colors and use them for all. Won’t break the bank to bad and won’t fall apart on me. Skip at Thump It Jigs can hook you up.
