Looking for some RICE RUBYTONE THREAD size A clear.

How many spools are you looking for? I can get you any Rice thread - Nylon,NCP, or Metallic provided I get 4 spools per color/size. You're probably better off just ordering Fishhawk Red Metallic

Try a Madeira #40

Good Wraps Bob

I have Rubytone in Size B Nylon. I am looking into getting it for you in Size A.

If no size A is available, would you consider the Size B?

MAdeira is no good for guide wraps. There I said it again. It REQUIRES Color PReserver, I dont' care who has had good results without applying CP to Madeira, Iv'e been contacted by so many people hwo have had issues with no CP on Madeira, and I can't help but laugh and tell them I told you so. If you're gonna use CP on the guide wraps, then you might be able to get good results with MAdeira, but even then, I know a few people (myself included) who cannot get as good a finish as I can wiht Nylon.

madeira isn't good for guide wraps, it stretches too much.

I get consistently good results with Madeira thread on guides, but I only build fly rods, so the diameter is fairly small. In addition, I don't trim either end of the thread until after I pack (on the start end I pull the tag end of the thread up and back and keep wrapping rather than cut it). As I pack and burnish, I keep pulling out the slack via the tag ends until it is good and tight. And I always use color preserver. It takes a bit of work, but I really like way the Madeira looks.
