I'm looking for an exact or as close as possible thread match to the blue St Croix Legend Tourney blanks.

thanks,
jeremy

Royal blue
This is standard nylon with no CP applied to the thread.

By the way, any time you want a perfect color match for a St. Croix blank, just give St. Croix a call and they will tell you the exact thread that they use when they wrap that particular blank.

Roger, any idea what brand, id#, etc? I know it's royal blue, I was looking for something more specific than that. One company's royal blue doesn't necessarily match another.

I've done them with no CP in the past due to a customer request and the thread turns almost black, not exactly a match to the blank color.

Jeremy,
I believe that the Fish Hawk 8053 with no CP is a very close match.

Be safe

When you test the color Remember that No CP will let the blank color come though the thread So testing on a dark blank will change the color
test on the butt of the blank where it will be covered with a handle or seat to get a better match

Roger, thanks!

Bill, yep, I always test them. There's nothing like wrapping a rod and then starting on the epoxy to find that the thread changes to a color you didn't want when the epoxy hits it.

jeremy

Yep
Been there Big Bummer LOL

Any time that I want to see the final thread color, I just do a wrap and then give it a good brush with DNA. The color change with DNA is virtually identical to the color change with guide finish.

Be safe
