I am getting supplies together to build a 9 ft , 5 wt Affinity M blank. It is clear coated
Does someone know what color of ProWrap non color protected thread will match the color of the blank as closely as possible. Thank you! jerry Re: Thread color for CTS blank

The ClearCoat finish is as black as you can get - except for the graphite texture showing through. So, any black will match. Are you considering the REC Recoils in Black?? Herb CTS Rep Re: Thread color for CTS blank

I used REC guides on a Sage build recently, i do like them.
I went with litewire snake on this one. Re: Thread color for CTS blank

If your looking for the thread to have almost no contrast to the blank color, I would recommend you buy a couple of colors, from Black down to Greys and do some test wraps on the butt section where your grip will go. Personally I think Black thread is going to stand out more than you may want. Pro Wrap A nylon is a fine thread and it will darken a bit when you apply your finish. Something like #841 Iron Ore or #850 Storm Cloud may do the trick.
Put your finish on the test wraps, its very easy to remove and hidden once grip goes on. Re: Thread color for CTS blank

You can also use natural white silk thread to create invisible wraps that will allow the blank, and guide feet colors to present themselves. A video with tips for invisible wraps - [www.youtube.com] Tight Lies and frisky fish RJF Re: Thread color for CTS blank
