FishHawk P Metallic

I just tried some of the P Metallic, and it was the nicest metallic thread I have ever used. Just wondering if anyone has used the FishHawk regular metallic and is it as nice to work with as the P metallic (no delaminating or other issues at all).

Thanks,
Marc

I used the metallics that were introduced in 2009 at ICRBE and they are very nice!

I love the metallic threads by FishHawk that I've used. It has a bit more stretch and not as strong as the Gudebrod HT metallics but FishHawk doesn't have the delaminating & twisting issues that the HT had for me and I beleive the HT has a larger diameter.

Looks like I may have to test FishHawk thread in the future when my Gudebrod HT runs out. I hope someone restarts Gudebrod as I will miss the HTA and HTD thread.
I use the A as an under wrap and the D as a top wrap on saltwater rods. It has worked just fine.

GREAT,

something else that I have to go out and get... LOL I was just working on a rod last night and quietly cursing to myself on account of the issues that I was having withthe HT. Glad to hear the FishHawk doing well.

The response we have had to the Metallic P has been outstanding. Thank you so much for your support. We are introducing some other goodies very soon also.
