We hope you elect to use ProWrap Thread

Hello everyone! We are unpacking a huge order of our ProWrap thread which is just in. So to all our customers you will be getting your long awaited shipments of Regular Nylon, Color Fast and Metallic thread in the coming days. We hope this will satisfy demand until the next order arrives.

I have been told over and over again that it is the best thread on the market today. Our bright colors, extensive selection, true diameters and strength give it a victory by a landslide! Try it and I think you'll agree. Vote ProWrap! ..............Ya I know it’s campy but I just couldn’t help myself. : )

We also just approved the samples of Trimar. Look for them sometime after the first of the year.


Joe Meehan, American Tackle

Hi Mike,

Darrin is putting the final touches on the design as a matter of fact. I suspect they'll be available sometime this winter! Joe

Joe

I have only used some black nylon. But I noticed that it did not have the stretch of Gudebrod
I have to use it more and decide.

And yes I have seen the posts about the stretch a while back just have to play with it and get used to it.

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback. It will take a little getting used to but after some time it will be your go to thread in the future. Ken your wife is very talented. I couldn't believe the wraps she did in her first year. I hope she like the thread.

Yes we've heard the cries for braid and trimar. We'll get it in here asap. Joe

Joe -
Lana is working on a "special" wrap right now using the ProWrap threads we ordered early on. We'll leave you a sample wrap she did for use at ICRBE (and/or elsewhere). She likes the thread because the diameter is a little thinner but is still strong enough to allow tight packing on wraps.

Just tried Pro Wrap color fast in banana split after having a disaster with Madeira and it looks like it is doing just fine in staying opaque and true to color. It also seems to wrap very nicely, although I don't have a lot of experience yet.
