How'd I miss this one???

You want stuff from Madiera, call them. Long story short - they'll send you a free color chart for metallics ($8), and if you want to choose from 250 thread colors for Butt wraps, ask for the Polyneon color chart (another $8). In adition, they enjoy sending free samples. Ask for a spool of metallic thread ($15 Retail) so you can test it and compare to what you are using now. Tehy also sent me 2 spools of Variagated thread ($8 each), and some tape to keep the thread on teh spool and clean (plastic stuff, acts similar to Saran Wrap, just a lot thicker)

I've also used Holographics as underwraps on 2 finished rods, and I actually am 1 guide away from finishing another one. PITA. Don't try and be lazy, put a coat of finish over the underwrap (note to self on that one)
