Sumo thread, composed of slightly twisted continuous fibers, facilitates the split-thread technique with remarkable ease. Its silky and shiny texture provides versatility, allowing for color customization with permanent markers. Sumo thread is suitable for dry flies, nymphs, wet flies, and streamers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA significant advantage lies in its application to your fly without adding bulk to the bodies, enabling you to tie smaller flies than before. When crafting dubbing bodies, we recommend using tying wax for enhanced fur adhesion, or alternatively, employing the split thread technique for excellent results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Troutline","offers":[{"title":"A1","offer_id":51981940162848,"sku":"Troutline Sumo Power Thread 50D - A1","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2","offer_id":51981952680224,"sku":"Troutline Sumo Power Thread 50D - A2","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A4","offer_id":51981952712992,"sku":"Troutline Sumo Power Thread 50D - A4","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A5","offer_id":51981952745760,"sku":"Troutline Sumo Power Thread 50D - A5","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A6","offer_id":51981952778528,"sku":"Troutline Sumo Power Thread 50D - A6","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/8104\/2720\/files\/sumo-power-thread-50den-by-troutline.jpg?v=1784061250","url":"https:\/\/tacticalflyfisher.com\/products\/troutline-sumo-thread-50d-100-meters","provider":"Tactical Fly Fisher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
