Really like the rosewood inset and the twisted red and black thread. Is the classic red and black twisted thread made like that or do you have to somehow twist it yourself?

Thanks Les. Poopdeck it was made like that. The classic twist was a thread that Gudebrod use to make but stopped making it about 3 years ago. I bought up all the inventory I could find back when they stopped just because I liked it so much. There's a company that makes one similar now a days, but I like the original classic twist a bit better.

Hadn't really noticed that but you're right. I think the last four or five have been red & silver. Been a while since I had customers all request almost the same colors in a row like that. The streak comes to a stop tomorrow though, the last two rods of 2016 are in the dryer right now and that are green & silver ;)
