Hey Gabe....is that thread a great match for a particular lamiglass blank that was on closeout at a particular vendor that you raved about enough that I bought all the remaining stock??? You know I Really need some nice thread for them. I'm calling in all my markers and one of my best buds said his son won't let him part with his old stock of Rice and Holland.....rats!!!!
Got anything nice you can spare? I have four blanks to wrap....eight guides each, all double foot. You have my email addy. Russ in Hollywood, FL. Re: GIANT THANK YOU DENNIS DANKU

Bill, Gabe deserves a little credit for what He's doing at such a young age. I just think what others are doing wrong because of the peer pressure or the surroundings growing up in. That's why I did it! No thanks necessary' just pass it on. Dennis J. Danku (Sayreville,NJ) Re: GIANT THANK YOU DENNIS DANKU

Hi Dennis,
I think you just made a friend for life. You deserve credit for being so generous and it's great to see a young guy getting involved in rodbuilding, they're desperately needed as the "old farts" aren't going to last forever. ESFNEM Col Port Kembla, NSW Australia Re: GIANT THANK YOU DENNIS DANKU

Hey Col, Yea I agree, most farts dissipate rather quickly but, if you ever had my chili... ah the magic is in the beans. Dennis J. Danku (Sayreville,NJ) Re: GIANT THANK YOU DENNIS DANKU

Russel, i cant see why that would not match. you could wrap it in pink for all i know. anything you have will work. im pretty sure the blank is black or grey so let ur imagination run wild! Re: GIANT THANK YOU DENNIS DANKU

My problem is I'm just a hobby builder type who only builds for myself. As a result I never built up a stock of thread. Now that the brand we all liked and used isn't availiable I don't know which brand to trust.
Gabe, keep what you have. From your posts I never would have guessed you were a young one. It was a nice gift and some of the really old thread is truly special and we will probably never see the likes of it again. It was really said more in jest and mostly I was fishing for info on what colors you plan to use. I stink at picking colors. Four rods, three with black channel lock seats and perfection ball gimbals, one in silver. All have 8" slick butts. One will see a tyrnos 10 (gunmetal color), one a saltist 30 (black and gold), one maybe a baja special (black and chrome). A couple will be a gift for the elevator repair guy from work. He is paying for parts only. Some one stole his rods and he has been a big help over the years. It started off with black on black eva and graphite seat stealth look hoping to come in near a $100 per rod. Once I showed him the aluminum/slick butt set up he had to have it. I'm now up to nearly $800 in parts/shipping alone:) I added a lot of weight for the line class of the rod but they do look stunning. Daughter and her theatre group said baja special must go on the silver reel seat one. As one guy put it, "Dude I don't fish but that is seriously bad a**, It looks like excalibur's sword". LOL! Boy did I blow the budget and I sure see why you guys need to get a few hundred for something nice looking. Russ in Hollywood, FL. Re: GIANT THANK YOU DENNIS DANKU

LOL!!!
honestly, you can trust just about any thread company you choose. its all about preference. I use prowrap, but if you get the nylon thread, go with the size D. i dont like their metalliic as much because it flies off the spool and u end up loosing a lot of thread. very springy. just hard to work with. Gudebrod came back as like weltec or something idk. go to mudhole. they have some nice prowrap threads, and also Sulky thread has some really nice metallix. NCP get size a if pro wrap. they have some nice colors that dont look flat. the neons are really nice. keep it classy but if you wanna go all out on one of em do it! For the saltist, just use colors to match the reel, but you can always have a themed rod and shove a reel on. just do some research on mudhole and look at all the color charts and pick whichever colors you think look good. i cant tell you which to put on YOUR rods! good luck!
