Voodoo is an awesome resource. Great products and service.

They have the Fuji TCH NVSS spinning seats which I'm interested in checking out. Also have some of the new Fuji Carbon Fiber grips along with a lot of trim options. Hoping they will also soon be carrying the new Fuji BB guides which I understand is pretty close to black from the info I have seen. Supposed to be available on stainless steel frames with alconite rings (and maybe some other ring types). Should be nice complement to the other Fuji frame colors.

I just ordered the Fuji TCH 13-15mm casting reel seat. Great looking seats. Had my eye on them for awhile. I was going to order the spinning one too since I’ll be building my 1st spinning rod on the SJ-764 X-Ray C6O2 once it arrives, but I held off. Need to get down the spinning components first since they differ a little.

Lately, I’ve tried to order most everything from VooDoo just because of their crazy fast shipping and great customer service. They continue this level of shipping speed and service, they will continue to gain many repeat customers.

I'll just pile on the VooDoo praise - Almost all of my orders are from VooDoo as well. Excellent selection and excellent customer service.

I really like the Justace threads VooDoo carries. As far as I know, VooDoo is the only vendor outside of Japan selling Justace stuff.

David, not only is their shipping super fast but they also have a live inventory...the number of each item they have in stock is listed. Nothing is more frustrating than to place an order, wait several weeks, receive a partial order with no indication that something was backordered and then wait another couple of weeks to receive that item. Twice this summer I've had to delay completion of a rod build due to backorders. That doesn't happen when you place an order with VooDoo. They've set a pretty high benchmark- absolutely top notch in my book.

I’ll have to grab some of that thread on my next order. Any particular colors you favor the most?

That good huh? I’m still
a newb, only used a handful of metallics from Mudhole. Looks good, but I trust your opinion, I’ll order some on my next order.

"I’ll have to grab some of that thread on my next order. Any particular colors you favor the most?"

For me - I use a ton of black thread, and the Justace Black is the darkest under finish I've ever used/seen...Sizes A and C. I agree that the metallics are great too. The Auroroa thread is similar to Fuji's new Prisma, but it wraps and lays much better IMO.

Thanks for this info. Im going to add them to the cart so I don’t forget. I’m mainly using black now as my guide wrap. Looks the best on these NFC blanks. I’m an newb, but my best work to my eye is when I use black. I’m going to start trying a trim band or inlay on things. Eventually I plan to use Garnet. Black, Red, Blue goes very well on NFC blanks. My son loves the black on his guides and the dark silver metallic (Like a black titanium color..I call it dark silver) as the trim.
