Starting my next strip-built rod
Hi everyone. Getting started planning my nex wood strip-built rod. This one is going to be made from purpleheart wood (a nice, durable wood from Central and South America). Yes, it is purple in color. (See attached picture.)
My question is...
What color of thread for the guide wraps do you recommend? My first strip-built rod was made of ash and the dark brown thread looked nice. I'm planning to use nickle-silver hardware, if that makes a difference. What do you think? Thanks.
