I have decided to do my next rod with an american flag theme.It will be a 7' 30 lb.salt water rod. I know white is traditional, but I have seen on the photo board some nice looking wraps using metallic silver instead of white.However I have never seen one in person.I would like some input from you experts as to which thread would make the best looking rod. Thanks again for your help. Tom Re: American Flag Opinions !

Tom, I did one not to long ago that I posted pictures of. My username is nspanntx, may want to look at the member galleries under my name to see it. On mine I used Sulky metallics in red, silver, and blue. I think it looks awesome!! It turned out better than I had hoped being it was the first one I had done. Tom if you need anything just give me a holler. Hope this helps, Noel Re: American Flag Opinions !

I have wrapped several using NCP scarlet, white and blue with a gold flag pole. The overwrap I like to use is done in black. The blue is actually a blue and with silver mylar that the Holland Thread Co. used to sell. Re: American Flag Opinions !

Something I like is to use blue/silver trimar thread for the "stars" section... looks much nicer than solid blue in my opinion. Erik Re: American Flag Opinions !

Noel, Great looking wrap. Am about to start my first one. How many axis did you use and how much of a offset? Thanks, Dan Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
