I'm looking for a thread color match for the new G.Loomis NRX Fly Rods. Does anyone know the color thread and if it's NCP or nylon? Re: Color Match

Have you checked with G. Loomis? Re: Color Match

Darrell,
Whenever I have had an issue in matching a blank color, I would pick up a selection of colors and do a test wrap. Then, after doing the test wrap, completly saturate the thread with alchol. Look at the finished product while the thread is still wet with the alchol and that will be quite close to the final color of the thread after the finish has been applied. The advice about calling Loomis is also a good one. When I had an issue on a different manufacturer, I called the manufacturer and they gave me all of the appropriate information, including the trim color, for both color as well as thread size and manufacturer. Good luck Roger Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
