Veevus thread has the texture, suppleness, strength, and various diameters to really make me a convert. I have been tying with Veevus for many years now and its now my choice over all other threads. Admittedly when I first used it I was not use to the sheen, uniformity, and slightly slippery surface but I quickly adjusted my techniques and I was extremely happy with this line of threads. If you tie smallish trout flies like I do a 14/0 thread is very very beneficial especially with low bulk sparse flies for weary fish. I have not used anything else since its introduction to the US market because of its superior strength and varying diameters. Now they have extended their color ways to make the line far more extensive. ~Clint Joseph Bova
