St. Croix Legend Tournament blank

I'm getting ready to do a Legend blank and was wondering what kind of thread colors some of you like to compliment the blue color of the blank?

Thanks,
Ron Greenbank

Gunsmoke Metallic with Matte Gold Trim looks nice with Fuji Gunsmoke SiC guides.
Nylon Blue a shade lighter without CP looks nice with Fuji Chrome Plated Alconite guides.
Of course, there is the age old answer ... whatever you think looks good.

I think Billy V. pointed out a while back that ANY color on anything STILL looks good. I'd use what ever color I wanted to use and wouldn't care one bit about the rod blank color;.

Blue that matches the blank when finished, Metallic blue a bit darker along with silver makes a wonderful look for these blanks.

Take care
Roger
