Taking a break from bait casting rod building to complete one of the translucent fly rod that I have put aside for a couple of weeks.
It's also time to do a trial on the
Bullard threads wrapping to my translucent fly rod blank. I am doing a spiral wrap over transparent wrapping on the hook keeper and
S-108 Brass Gold on the stripper guide and other snake guide.
Bullard Silk thread 3/0 is thin and almost fussiness free. This is the first time I did not break any thread when wrapping the guide at tight tension. Compared to other brands of silk threads, I can easily break a few times during the process of guide wrapping. This silk thread is consider tough.
I do not plan to apply any color preserver on the silk thread. I would like to see how the
brass gold silk thread turn out to be after epoxy..
