Idea for AMTAC Matrix blank

Hi again to everybody!

I'd like to build a spinning rod using an Amtac Matrix Mag Bass blank (AMMBC843).

I'll use Fuji titanium/SIC spinning guides.

Is there ani nice idea for warp color?. I don't know if doing it trying to match the beautiful blank green color, if using a metallic green thread or something completelly different like a yellow, gold...

Anyone with good results?


Daniel

Red with gold trim look good on a green blank

Black over Metallic Gold goes with every color blank and has "Class" the others are "Pretty". Jesse

I had thought something... "special" What about doing it with regular nylon white thread without CP?. I think titanium guides wil not have this "ugly" color change in the shaped feet.

Any experience with this?

I finished a rod last week. The blank is green and I used regular dark green thread and gold trim. It came out pretty nice. I did use color preserver on the thread.
