Fuji and Pac Bay. The Fuji A is pretty thin for a. Pac Bay lays down very smooth for me. I am using a Flex Coat hand wrapper with the sewing thread tensioners. Re: what Thread brand are you guys using?

Makoi! This is one case that I would advise getting a few different brands and trying them out for yourself. I have thread from Fuji, Rice, Gudebrod, YLI, Fishawk, Makoi, Maderia, Sulky and Pro Wrap. I like all of what I have listed except for one. It simply doesn't work for my style but I am sure there are others that love it. I don't like the way it handles, it doesn't work for the way I wrap, other than that nothing wrong with it.

Mostly Pro Wrap some Fish Hawk but no Fuji, I feel it's to thin and see no benefit to the polyester. Also I have come to like the B size now offered by Pro Wrap. Re: what Thread brand are you guys using?

to Mudhole I understand this may be proprietary information and not for public knowledge but is it possible to allow the custom rod building community know who is utilizing your thread for repair purposes? It would allow us to ensure that we have the correct thread to match while executing repairs.
Thanks, Tom Kaufmann Re: what Thread brand are you guys using?

Tom On rods that i have repaired and the thread color was not obvious I have called the rod manufactures and they were all to happy to provide me with the maker of the thread as well as the color number. Hope this helps.

Thanks Tom. I too have done this as well. I was just hoping to possibly bypass a phone call and be able to get right to the repair.
Thanks, Tom Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
