A BIG THANK YOU for all the opinions here. I just received some of the dark orange Pac Bay nylon thread which is really sweet looking against the Tiger Eye blank! I'll have to mull over all the suggestions as to whether to use single foot or snake. Casting distances is not likely to be an issue as my daughter lives in Asheville NC with her BF so lots of small streams with overhanging trees seems to be the big thing for them. Thanks again for the suggestions!!!
