I've never tied for sockeye's before but i would think that a kevlar or GSP thread would be ideal.
a uni 3/0 thread would probably get the job done just fine though, especially if you glued your knots

I would recommend Kevlar thread.

Kevlar and/or cementing the thread on the heads will prolong the life of the fly.
