Many Thanks to the organizers of the Rod Expo and to all of our customers who puchased thread. We had a great time meeting fellow fishermen and fisherwomen who enjoy spending time on the water. We wish you the best of luck as you practice your craft.

For you guys/gals that have not used there threads, or were not at the show. I bought some of their metallics to try.

The thing that impressed me the most was that It would not pull apart, stretch, or what ever you want to call it and leave gaps were you could see the nylon core showing. I purposely tried and could not.

I use a lot of metallics and the only down side I saw was the limited choice of color selection I’m hoping as they expand into this business more, the color choices will expand with them.

They also had some nice looking silk threads which I will be trying.

Robbie,

You previously asked for input about what to carry........... classic twist style in white-red-green-yellow / black would be great since nobody else wants to carry it these days.
