I wish thread companies would all go to the denier system. You're right. I
can't hardly tie using Guderbrod 10/0, cause it's soo tiny, but I have no
problems with the Griffin's 14/0. Something else that's weird (to me anyway)
about Guderbrod. They STILL make TONS of thread (unless they JUST stopped) My
wife worked at the sewing factory near here and they use Guderbrod thread to
make ALL the high dollar Jos A Bank men's dress suits.

Not all the same numbers are the same size. For example, the Gudebrod
10/0 was thinner that the 14/0, I think it was an Italian thread. U hear the
10/0 us being exclusively made for Orvis. For me, it was the best thread I have
tied with.

goes to a page selling jig thread which mentions it is a size A. Size A is
supposed to be fine (not heavy), but how does it compare in diameter to 6/0 or
3/0 tying thread?
The word "fine" is what throws you off. It's "Fine" for rod building
thread. But it's several times the diameter of 3/0 thread.
Put in simple terms, it's much heavier than fly tying thread. Well,
maybe it's about the size of the Kevlar thread that's used for tying deer hair.
I'm glad to see that we are starting to use actual measurements (70
denier, 140 denier, etc.) instead of letters. When we use thread designations
of 3/0, 8/0, A, D, etc., we're still working in confusion like we were back in
the days of "HGH" designations for fly lines.
