I just bought a 9' 7weight Forecast blank from Neal at Neal's Fishing, and I wanted to get some opinions on thread color. I'm going to wrap this blank as a spinning rod, based on some ideas that I've been kicking around. The reel will be a Tica Libra 3000, which is silver for the most part, but with some gold accents. I really don't care if the reel matches the color of the rod, but I thought that I'd throw that out there for discussion's sake.

Anyway, my two-year-old daughter thinks that I should use pink wraps, but she wants everything pink. I'm thinking possibly along the lines of a grey, or possibly even a yellow to really stand out. Do you guys and gals have any other ideas of something that would look pretty sharp?

Thanks.

A light grey with some yellow banks looks really good.
I still use practice sticks to try my ideas. Its a really good way to
try something without commiting on a rod. I use dowels I get
at Home Depot. They have lots of sizes but 7/16 works the best
for me.
I saw one that had aqua with black trim that was not bad.

If that's a forecast blue blank, try blue with silver trim.

blue dun without cp and silver trim bands. awesome!

what color is the blank? check out the all photo's on this site it always helps me get an idea.

sorry guys, i forgot to mention that it is the forecast blue blank. thanks for the replies so far.

I've been in the habit of saving pictures of guide wraps on a disc and then taking a picture of the blank and just cropping the guide wrap and placing it on the colored blank picture and seeing it on the computer; saves me a lot of time wrapping different colors (although I still do a lot of that, too). Just one more way of doing this, guys!!

I did a Forecast 5 wt. with cobalt blue wraps and gold trim.

I really like it.
