There is not a whole lot of difference with the threads that I use. Thanks to Jo Anns and Michaels, there is a lot of selection of quality threads that can hold up to the saltwater.
Pure cotton tends to break down quicker as opposed to a poly or poly blend. I sometimes use Dacron which is very good up to about a 300 ft depth for some of the flies.
Believe it or not, depth and pressure have a great effect on certain threads. Anything thrown from my flyswatter is generally 70 feet or less in depth. Otherwise I tie dropper loops and fish with a conventional reel in the deeper waters.[cool]
