Veevus G.S.P Thread
Veevus G.S.P Thread is a high-strength fly-tying thread made from GSP, or gel-spun polyethylene. Veevus describes it as having a slight twist that helps prevent the thread from opening up during tying. It still lays completely flat and is suited to spinning and controlling hair, making it useful for large flies, firm tie-in points and materials that need decisive pressure. The listed sizes are 200 Denier, 150 Denier, 100 Denier, 50 Denier and 30 Denier; the 30 Denier version is available in white only. The product information states 2 colours for the range and 75 m per spool, described as 67% more thread than the cited comparison. Denier is a product designation and should not be read as a direct measure of breaking strength.
Construction and use
When securing hair or other slippery, bulky materials, use the slight twist to your advantage, keep the bobbin aligned and increase tension progressively. Because the thread lies flat, controlled wraps can distribute pressure evenly and help form a compact head.
