Thread: Rod Thread

  1. #1

    Default Rod Thread

    I recently bought a rod that is wrapped with a "blood red and black variegated" thread. I would like to add a hookkeeper to the rod but don't have any thread to match.

    Was wondering if anyone had some of that color and if I could buy at least a few feet. I think they used to call the stuff tiger wrap. It's basically a red thread with a black ,sort of stripe, woven in on it.

    Thanks
    Dave

    I think you are talking about what is called"jasper" twist. i have some in both silk or nylon. If you rod is newer then it's probably nylon. PM me you address.

    Thanks guys. Cheffy, I sent you a PM. Oldblue-that's probably it although I don't see a color chart, so can't be certain.
