I have some Gudebrod Electra braid in Royal Blue and Red. I love the stuff and was wondering if there is anything else like the Electra braid on the market as I'm keen to get some other colours. I have some Prowrap metallic which is good but if anyone knows of anything close to the Electra braid it would be great to know.
Thanks, Mark.

Try looking at some flytying materials. Many of that type of braid is still used in fly tying and not marketed for rodbuilding, but works fine for decorative wraps

Mark,

I have holographic braid, 2.0 mm wide in a limited number of colors.

If you are interested, send me an email with your address so that I can get an idea of shipping costs.
