I recently saw a underwrap of what appeared to be two-tone regular white with metalic silver??? What is it called? Looked cool to me, might do a underwrap with it.

Summer Moon Rod Works (sponsor) may still be able to provide you a complete 4-page color layout of Gudebrod's Thread line, as they did when they sent my SMRW Catalog in August '04.Trimar SilverTone or GoldTone is available in 6 colors (black, white, blue, green, brown, red) blended with either (silver or gold).

Gudebrod still makes the nylon variegated thread in size A but it is only available in 100 yd. spools. They have a green/black, yellow/black, Orange/black, red/black, and white/black. They call it Classic Twist.

Cliff,
The classic twist sures adds a lot to a rod at a very inexpensive price. Even on the charter Halibut rods I make I started using it as an under wrap and the customers think it is great. Glad to hear you carry it also.
