Pyme Fisher 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Steeldrifter is building me a pair of 10 foot 3 weight rods, on the deep green colored blanks. I need to make some decisions, soon. I've been looking at his website, and through different posts here. I just can't settle on thread colors. I'm thinking I'll probably go subtle on one, and a bit louder on the other. If anybody has one of his rods, on the green blank, can you post pictures here for me to look at and compare? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 You still tryin to decide?? If you go through all the 10' ones here in this section those are all on the exact same blank so there are a bunch of various color wraps on those you can see here that will give you some ideas.

Pyme Fisher 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 I'm not sure what color reels I'll be going with yet, but that's a good point. I might have to look for new reels to coordinate with the rods. Steve and I have been talking off-forum, and I think we've settled on most of the details today. And mikechell will be happy to know that one rod is going blue (and silver). :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
