Mate, I wish my first wrap went together like yours has. Come to think of it I wish most of them went together that way! Keep it up.

Thanks Guys! I got alot of practice with this one and learned about thread tension and packing the hard way. I cringed everytime I heard "tink" when packing the threads, and proceeded to strip down and rewrap. It was a differnet color choice, started with the tan (290) and kinda grew from there. Plus it broke up the blue on the rod. the guides are pac bays tich with blue rings with blue dunn, silver trim thread.

When you pop threads, don't worry. No need to rewrap - nobody can tell tehre is one thread missing here or there.

I wish my first closed wrap would have came out that nice. Since I have been trying a few threads other than gudebrod I have found that I can't use as much tension or the thread breaks off on me. I have yet to re-wrap either, just pull out the offending thread to ends and no one except for you will know that there is a thread missing.
