    What is the mono used equal to if we were to use some? 2# maybe? I'm sure it's not the same stuff is it?

    That helps. Should be able to cross check the size with mono sizes and get close. Thanks Skip!

    Daville 210 I have all the colors. Use a lot of red, followed by white and yellow chart. The blue I use the least.
    The best thing my dad ever gave me was his love of fishing.

    You just trap the thread and wrap it on.
    By hand and the same way they put thread on there to start with, but not sure I would go to 4# line. My auto bobbin requires that I put the thread on the spools that come with the bobbin. I probably have 15 spools for it and different colors on each and some with mono. I don't use my aunt bobbin as much as I should and there are some ties I use to do that the auto bobbins helps a great deal. It's great if you want to wrap something on that was tied in and hanging off the back. I can take the thread and hang it off the post that came with my Nor-Vise and I can spin the jaw without adding thread to the shank, then when I am ready I can take the bobbin off the post and let it self retract back to the tie to finish.

    Oh and my auto bobbin setup came with a spool that I can attach to an electric drill and let it do my wrapping. Only takes a short time to do.

    Wrap tightly, especially your first 3 wraps. They are what really holds your material, not the number of wraps.

    This is good to know
    For bucktails 1/8th oz - 4 oz I use size D rod tying thread. Very strong which means I don't break it, thick so I don't use as much, and round which helps in nice clean looking wraps.

    where do you get the Size D ?I tie mine hidden. Is there a video about tying hidden vs. visable

    Nice info, thanks

    Hey smoothbores post a pic or two of what your tying so these new guys and see what you doing? I know smooth ties some larger jigs than some of us and a good bit of buck tail and that is different for sure.

    Have any of you guys tried The GSP threads for hair jigs ?? I just tied up some small #14 jigs with 12/0 Nano silk Some strong stuff .. Just remember when you use these type of thread its better to cut them with a razor blade or one side of your scissors like a knife.. It also lays super flat ...
