I've thought about trying some of that Kevlar thread but don't have a ceramic guide type bobbin and I've heard using Kevlar threads can pay hell on standard bobbins and tear up your fingers :)

No worries. Myself, I've never seen any bobbin wear from kevlar thread. It's just waxed thread, it won't hurt your fingers at all. (Kevlar or braid fishing line is a whole different matter.) Anyone who can be trusted with fishing hooks can surely be trusted with kevlar fly-tying thread. :wink:

If you want to try it, get some. I've used quite a bit of it, but it is considerably bulkier than the other thread recommendations you received. I try to keep my flies and jig wraps neat, and because of the bulk, I don't use kevlar unless nothing else will get the job done.

Hope this helps, good luck!
