I want to welcome everyone attending the expo to stop by the RodDancer booth and check out all the fine products we will have to offer this year.
It's always good to see old friends and meet new ones. The Threadmaster finishes and Ultimate Gels are still increasing in popularity as they truly are second to none. We have a great selection of the original Exotic cork rings like Laguna, Burnt and Copano. With RodDancer aquiring FishHawk threads we would like to thank everyone that has used it and invite those who haven't to give them a try. The Metallic's are absolutely the finest you will wrap with. There will be an extensive supply in the Fishsticks booth, do yourself a favor, if you have been struggling with thread give these a try, you wont be dissapointed.
The great American race was held today, but the sequel may be opening day saturday with many rod wrappers racing to the Fishstick booth for trash can blanks, heavily discounted items and a new Verigated thread from FishHawk that will debut this weekend.

This thread is AWSOME! I will have on display all 25 shades of bright vibrant colors with color breaks every inch. I can't wait to see what Billy V. and the NERBS will do with this thread.

I have just posted some pics of the thread wraps.

The countdowns on. The green flag will drop in 5 days.

See you there.

Can’t speak for the variegated threads; but hands down FishHawk threads have been the easiest for me to use. Lays down better with less trying to lap back over itself, packs well. Wrapping Micro guides is easier with the FishHawk.

The metallics are without question the best I've used!
Hardly ever have the problems that used to plague me so much with the other brands, of the metal over thread snapping, or unraveling.


Combined I literally have hundreds of spools of Gudebrod, Pack bay, Rice, and a few other brands of threads lying around and for the most part (unless I need a color I don’t have in FishHawk ) they sit around the shop collecting dust.

I know exactly what you mean Steve, I have alot of other threads that wont get a second thought now that I have found FishHawh. Those inferior metallics used to drive me crazy trying to get a good wrap. Now no more problems unraveling and knotting, things are much easier, and I need all the help I can get.

It is impossible to make anything foolproof, because fools are so ingenious!

Is it just me...? I can't open any of the pages on the Fishhawk link to the left.

I can't open the webpage either, but I did check out Mike's posts in the photo section. I really like how the variegated threads look.

The Fishhawk link is working fine. Any problem with any pages there would be on that end.

..........

I'm with you Tony, I tried to open the pages on the Fishhawk website and all I got was " Page Not Found "

The FishHawk site is experiencing technical difficulties and we should have them fixed shortly.

Mike, is this a nylon or NCP, and what size A, B, C, D? Are those wraps with CP, or without? The REd/Burgandy & Blues - I've already wrapped a couple of rods in my head with them. I hope they are Nylon.

Billy,

This thread line is a 2 ply polyester, size A . And the wraps I've done have been with ChromaSeal color preserver and ThreadMaster High Build.

the variegated thread is very nice in the right application. i was able to get my hands on some and really like it. i will have one rod at the show wrapped in it
