BLT Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nylon thread. Get it at a site called "the thread exchange". Buy the large spools so they last a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) For big bucktails I some times use old 30lb. braid. Edited June 24, 2015 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I use flat waxed thread for bucktails. Anything else I break when I pull the whips tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 For my bass jigs I like Danville 210 denier flat waxed nylon, a waxed thread grips the material better and you don't get "friction spots" or weak areas where the thread rubs against itself. When tying silicone or rubber you don't need a waxed thread but I feel it is essential with buck tail. For Musky size buck tails I know a lot of guys like the 400 denier Uni Thread Big Fly thread, that probably has close to 6lbs of break strength, this is what I would use for Musky and Stripers.
