# **How to Choose the 2m Caterpillar Rayon BLACK Fly Tying Fly Mounting Fly Tying Black**
As an avid fly angler, selecting the right materials for fly tying can make all the difference in your fishing success. One of the most versatile and effective materials for creating realistic insect imitations is the **2m Caterpillar Rayon BLACK fly tying thread**. Whether you’re tying nymphs, streamers, or dry flies, this high-quality rayon thread offers durability, flexibility, and a natural appearance that attracts fish.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key factors to consider when choosing the **2m Caterpillar Rayon BLACK** for your fly tying needs, ensuring you make the best selection for your fishing style.
## **1. Understanding the Material: Why Rayon?**
Rayon is a synthetic fiber known for its strength, smooth texture, and excellent knot-holding ability. Unlike traditional nylon or polyester threads, rayon provides a slight sheen that mimics the natural reflectivity of insect bodies, making it ideal for **fly tying black** patterns.
The **2m Caterpillar Rayon BLACK** is specifically designed for:
– **Durability**: Resistant to fraying, ensuring long-lasting flies.
– **Fine Thread Control**: Allows for precise wraps without bulk.
– **UV Resistance**: Maintains color integrity even after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
## **2. Choosing the Right Thickness**
Fly tying threads come in various thicknesses, typically measured in denier (D). The **2m Caterpillar Rayon BLACK** is a medium-weight thread, making it suitable for:
– **Small to medium-sized flies** (size 12-18 hooks).
– **Secure ribbing and segmentation** in nymph and caterpillar patterns.
– **Smooth wraps** without adding unnecessary bulk.
If you’re tying **ultra-small flies** (size 20 and below), consider a finer thread. However, for most applications, the **2m thickness** provides the perfect balance between strength and precision.
## **3. Color Selection: Why Black?**
Black is one of the most versatile colors in fly tying because:
– **It creates high contrast**, making the fly more visible in murky water.
– **Imitates dark-bodied insects** like midges, caddis larvae, and stoneflies.
– **Works well as an underbody** for flashier patterns.
The **Caterpillar Rayon BLACK** offers a deep, consistent shade that enhances the realism of your flies.
## **4. Applications in Fly Tying**
This rayon thread excels in various fly patterns, including:
– **Nymphs**: Perfect for segmented bodies (e.g., Pheasant Tail Nymph).
– **Streamers**: Provides a smooth base for adding flash materials.
– **Dry Flies**: Works well for small, delicate ties.
