I am building a surf rod that is going after large fish in heavy current. On the guide wrap the customer wants red, white, and blue all metallic. I will wrap this first with a black nylon and then cp it and then wrap the metallic over it and finish it. I need the nylon down first for the strength. Do you think the black nylon could bleed into the other colors, especially the white? Or shade the colors so they look odd? If it won't bleed I may wrap it with white nylon instead of black before the metallic Re: thread bleed?

The metallics are not bad to bleed through because they have a coating on them similar to tinfoil. One thing about the metallic whites I have dealt with is the tendency for them to show a green tint. Might want to try a test wrap on yours just to be sure it is going to turn out like you want. Re: thread bleed?

You should be fine with that wrap but when it doubt run a test wrap or 2 and make sure. Re: thread bleed?

Why not underwrap in white? Rufus Port Saint Lucie, FL Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
