Jans netcraft has Pac Bay thread in nylon, as well as NCP in size A and C

[www.jannsnetcraft.com]

Also, Mudhole has Both Pac Bay as well as Fish Hawk thread in a couple of different sizes.

Both Pac Bay and Fish Hawk are excellent threads for rod building.

I believe that Pac Bay has been used by many rod manufacturers in the past for their fishing rods with no issues.

Best wishes

So, it looks like Hitena is the only thread manufacturer that has AAA - E in all sizes?

American Tackle also carries ProWrap thread in size B, both untreated Nylon and Colorfast. I ordered some of each just this morning.

With regard to other thread sizes, I have a significant quantity of Gudebrod size E, and even some EE. I don't generally use them, but I have been playing around with some Gudebrod size C that I received in a larger Gudebrod shipment. There is an enterprising individual that bought up a ton of Gudebrod thread when Gudebrod closed its doors the first time, and they have been trickling it into the market. Not sure of their portal, but could be either Amazon or @#$%&.

I have seen some different sizes of Pac Bay thread as well, but don't know where you would go to order the sizes other than the A and C. I have some size B but don't recll how I got it...
