Hi brothers in the hobby,
I should repair an loose starter on a G.Loomis Stream Dance GLX 9' #4.
Does someone have an idea what colour and brand of thread is used for winding on the eys. G.Loomis did not answer my request on their page.
As I called their support they told me to call the support from Mudhole. Unbeliefable.

Thank you for your help

Best wishes, tight lines and always bubblefree varnish

Although I have no information of use to you. I would like to say that I find the fact that loomis customer service referred you to mudhole for a question regarding their product. Crazy...

Been a while since I held one in my hand and it was an earlier version, but in my mind's eye it was a green blank with Gudebrod golden rod or gold thread, no cp. Golden rod is my strongest vision.

Thank you bouth for answering.
Yes it is crazy what they did but i reached a realy friendly guy at Mudhole, he is trying to help.

I tryed several threads I thought tey could work. Goldenrod from Guldebrod is a way to yellow. The gold is not bad but it is still a bit of brownish on the ringfoot missing. I tryed also one that seems to be old gold, but i don`t know what brand. this is a way to brown. I wait for the delivery of prowrap Midas Gold, Bee Wax and Ratan, perhaps one of those will fit. There is also a litte bit of an shiny touch in it, but I think this is the Result of microbubbles as a result of the poor workmanship in varnishing. I bought a new tip for this rod, the varnish is worse than my first rod. The rod is realy nice to fish with it, but if there is a problem with, it seems you're in trouble.

I remember there was a bunch of blank color bleed through on those wraps except at the guide foot, you wouldn't necessarily get the right color, if color testing with water.

Thank you, you're describing it perfect.
All the colours I tested till now was been treated with epoxy, water only give you an idea in whitch direction the journey will go.

Some do it with alcohol
