Pro wrap size

Just checking if anyone is using Pro wrap size D for all applications, it seems to be a bit smaller that other threads of that same size. I'll be honest, Size A is getting a little harder to see as I get older.

Cool. Always thought A was too small and D was too big. If this comes in at a regular size C and in all those colors I'll be a happy camper!

THat's what it is, Pro Wrap D is thinner than other companies D. I wrapped a rod with NCP Neon Green D today, put a coat of Pro Kote finish on it, gonna put it on a boat and see how it holds up to 300 days of fishing and abuse a year.

Kevin,
If you aren't using one already, get yourself a good magnifier:

[www.google.com]

You can use these with glassess or without.

They make a huge difference in the ability to easily work with various sized thread. The advantage of this type magnifier, is that it lets a person work at a convenient arms length.

Take care
Roger
