FishHawk vs. Prowrap Thread

It's been over 40 years since I built my last rod. Back in the good old days, Gudebrod was the standard. I'd like opinions frm users of both products. Has anyone had problems with Either? Will be using size A thread.

Thanks in advance for your reply's

I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life.

I've used both and have no preference. My wife on the other hand definitely prefers ProWrap. I think because it's a bit thinner & she's more into decorative wraps than I am.

I've used gudebrod. My preference now is Prowrap. Lots of color choices, NCP thread options, and it comes off the spool well with less twist than some others.

I've got all three...I like gudebrod cause it's "original"...fishhawk has got some great variegated thread colors...and prowrap has a ton of colors...prowrap is smaller in diameter too...
