I am building a spinning rod for my wife. I'll be using a pink metallic rod blank from Mudhole, Fuji SK2 painted reel seat (pearl blossom) and building the split grip from rose water acrylic blank from Bear Tooth woods. I know it is a lot of pink but that's her thing. Question is what color thread wraps, I know you guys are full of great suggestions so I'll go ahead and thank you in advance. Re: Color help

I did a lavender on pink for my daughter that I think came out well. Re: Color help

I just wrap the guide with nylon pink rod wrapping thread so that the thread essentially disappears. I use a gold trim band with it and it looks very nice.

I recently did two. One is metallic purple with NCP white trim bands and the other is metallic gun metal with metallic magenta trim bands. The mom and daughter love them. Good luck. Re: Color help

Just checked what thread I used on the rod described above. It's not NCP white. I used sulky metallic white. MH Re: Color help
