All,

I am finally collecting things to build my rod with. I have a 6 wt Scott A2 blank. I am working with another FAOL person on a custom grip. I am planning on using a REC saltwater seat with fighting butt. Since the blank is matte black, I am considering black guides as well. I see Hook&Hackle has some black guides. I am also going to use some black thread but . . .

I would like to make the thread see through or translucent so I can see the guide feet. How do I do that? Certain type of thread?
