FishHawk Threads, New products introduced at the Expo

We will be introducing new threads at the International Rod Builders Expo.
1) Reflection thread. This thread is made in the same manner as our metallic. We start with a nylon core and wrap the core with rice paper. Instead of top coating with metallic film, we use an iridescent film. This film provides an optical phenomenon in which the hue changes with the angle from a surface which is viewed. It is hard to describe. You just need to see it! 7 colors
2) Silk/metallic twist. We take the seven most popular 3/0 silks and twist a very fine strand of metallic gold or silver. I hope this will be a big hit for the bamboo builders!
3) Variegated silks. This should give an old school look for the classic fly rod guys.
We look forward to seeing you in High Point and hearing your feedback on these new threads!!

Robbie,
How THICK is the reflection thread compared to your metallic? Love how thin your metallic thread is.

Buzz, It is going to be the same thickness and feel of our metallic. It will, however, have more of a high tech look.
