I finally gave in to the pressure from this site and I decided to build a rod on a Tiger Eye blank. It took 3 weeks but I finally got the blank and some parts from Sevier. That guy is helpful once you get a hold of him. Now the problem, I ordered some hardware and thread from Hook and Hackle, the garnet thread is on backorder, Mudhole, JStockard, Jans Netcraft all say garnet is on backorder, Cabelas only has the 950 yard spools in stock- What the "insert profanity here" am I gonna do with 950 yards??

Anybody got any other ideas before I order 900 more yards than I need.

I wanted to use Garnet because it seems to fade into the blank, I don't want any part of this rod to "stand out" just a nice simple build.
