What it is
Hareline Uni Waxed Midge Thread is a waxed fly-tying thread built in a fine diameter for small, clean work. The wax coating helps it bite and stay put, while still laying down smooth wraps. It’s designed to hold up under high tension without fraying or breaking when you’re trying to keep bulk to a minimum.
What to tie with it
Use it anywhere you need precise thread control: starting a small hook, building low-bulk bodies, and finishing tiny heads without crowding the eye. It’s a good choice for delicate patterns where you’re ribbing with wire, tying in sparse tails, or controlling small amounts of dubbing with tight, even wraps. The wax helps when you’re forming a tight dubbing noodle for slim midge and small nymph bodies.
Flies and the fish they're for
This thread is aimed at midge patterns, small nymphs, and dry flies that get fished for trout in rivers and stillwaters when insects and profiles run small. It also fits the kind of delicate small-fly work used for selective panfish on light tackle, especially when you need a neat head and a slim body. Any time you’re tying tiny, precise patterns for pressured fish, the fine diameter and smooth, strong wraps are the point.
