I'd be in favor of shade packs as well as thicker diameter thread more like competetor's size A.

Drew,

IMO you aren't missing a thing with Prowrap, stay where you are at. You'll be much happier!! Mudhole seriously missed the mark with that product.

Glad to hear you might be adding some new colors. Being that I a green/red color blind, you might want to consider printing the color name on the spool. I hate to keep asking my wife to help me with color matching. Maybe like some of your competition labels their thread. I have been using your thread quite a bit lately. The Ultra Poly is not bad, not bad at all.

I consider myself to be an "old guy" (56) and haven't eaten in a HoJo's since I was a kid! Your post definitely brought back some fine memories of my Dad! My only question is, just how old are these customers? ;)

HoJo Clam strips were my favorite as a kid. No one makes them like HoJo's did since.

Ditto on some of the other suggestions, particularly the Gudebrod classic twist-like the black/white & the green/black, green/red, rust/black we lost. I also really liked the transparent thread idea.

Forgot to mention-I would love to see a thread color that matches fuji's titanium guides perfectly!

Another suggestion-along the lines of color twist threads: how about a patriotic twist thread; like red, white & blue-or at least red/blue?
