I have some Gudebrod 8/0 and 10/0 and I am building up my nerve to try
splitting them.
If I can do it , anyone can.
Thank You,
Alan Di Somma

I'm not Hans, but I have been known to split hairs, errr thread too.
Not all flies require split-thread (dubbing techniques). Split-thread dubbing
is an alternative to dubbing-loop techniques that can offer superior results
wherever it is a viable alternative. My prime example is the split thread
dubbing-and-CDC-fibers (clamp transfer technique) caddis pattern popularized
(and possibly invented - I haven't researched that) by Marc Petitjean.
All non-monofilament threads can be split, some easier than others. In general,
non-twisted non-bonded threads are easier to split than bonded, twisted, or
bonded-twisted threads. Danville flymaster e.g. is very easy, Gudebrod 6/0 and
8/0 (currently only available as Orvis thread?) are easy, UNI threads need to
be untwisted and 'unbonded' and take significantly more effort. My personal
favourite if I want to tie with split-thread techniques are the Gudebrod
threads, for ease of splitting coupled with overall quality.

Hans,
Do you split all threads or are there ones that you prefer?

Hi Alan,
Thanks for letting me know on the Sparrow, and how that worked out ;-)
On splitting thread - I know you will come to think and wonder how you ever
got on without it - I know I do.
Cheers,
Hans
