Depends on what you're tying with it!!! Uni 8/0 is a nice thread but on jigs I'd go with the UTC 70 as it will flatten as you tie it in - where the Uni won't.

What ya tying!!!!!!!!

If I have both in the same weight and color, I'll tie with UNI over Ultra Thread simply because Ultra Thread is much like a floss with fibers that separate and catch on my hands. Also, I believe that I'm more likely to fray and break Ultra Thread than UNI.

I do use both though.

I use both but prefer the utc over the uni on my smaller jigs. On my bass jigs I like the 6/0 uni over the 140 utc. The utc 70 stretches more than uni and I like that. All my duck jigs are tied with 70 ultra,nothing else ever.
