Semperfli Classic Waxed Thread
Semperfli Classic Waxed Thread
Semperfli Waxed Threads are the best tying threads available to today’s fly tier! This thread has been developed after examining the traditional waxed threads used by fly tiers world-wide. These polyester threads are examples of the innovation that always occurs with Semperfli products. Semperfli extruded the polyester thread so that it is flatter than other threads giving more grip to prevent materials slippage. It has a light wax coating to provide grip but not enough to clog a bobbin holder. Strength has always been a base line consideration at Semperfli so our 8/0 is 40% stronger than comparable threads. Finally we made sure the flat profile thread was easy to split! We then went that one final step, adding 240 yards or thread compared to other manufacturers 50, 100 or 200 yards making it highly cost effective.
If you have ever had to throw away a partially used spool of thread because you encountered a bird’s nest halfway through the spool you know how frustrating that can be! Semperfli has invested in precision spooling equipment that lays down even the finest fibers in touching turns. Never again will you have to deal with a hopelessly tangled spool of thread!

Since being introduced to this thread it has become the only thread you will ever find on my tying desk. All Panfish On The Fly custom flies are tied using Semperfli Threads whether it is the Classic Waxed Thread or one of the fantastic Nano Silk products. This thread handles better, is stronger, is available in a wide range of colors and is more economical than any other thread I have used. If the price per spool seems high, remember you are getting 240 yards of thread on this standard sized spool. Compare that to the brand you are using now!
