I am looking for flouresent thread, (day-glo), where can I find? I am looking primarily for BLUE, but am interested in all colors out htere. Years ago I got some yellow that I used for tip-tops, but the place I got it is long gone. Any info would be appreciated, thank you.

I think Merrick Tackle sells that, but don't know what colors. Dan Craft and Summer Moon can get it for you if Merrick has what you want.

Madeira Polyneon thread colors can be had at your closest quality fabric store. My store had 6 - 8 different colored spools of neon thread.

HI,
You might try going to a fly fishing shop and looking at threads that are used to tie salmon flies, those guys have some nice colors that truly light up and cannot be missed.

I don't think the colors will hold up..unless something has changed in the last 20 years.Dave Bella did a rod with flo. colors & after 6 months the top of he rod had bleached right out. I dunno if the finishes nowadays would protect it ... I doubt it..I know perma gloss won't.

try some tests before building that -perfect rod....

If the finish is clear, then it cannot protect the thread.
