Hello everyone,

I am looking for an special thread or line or whatever its been called, i am not sure. to get this finish.

it's metalic thread , a lot of fishing rods have it on them and you should be able to buy it from any store that sells the components for making fishing rods.

if you cannot get metalic rod binding thread, go to a sewing shop and buy it there. (used for needlework)

it will be cheaper and you can get it on larger spools. (will not be UV treated though)

with either thread it would be best to give the finished jig a coat of clear epoxy or something similar to protect the threads.

+ 1 for rod building thread.



or some of the salt water fly tying material would probably last longer.

some of the holographic fly tying materials would trick them up nicely <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />

I have this pictures to check the line better







I am not sure of the cuore material, but i do not think it was a nylon cuore as some of you recomended.



What do you think now?

[fish'n'chippy]

to me it is definately rod binding thread

here are a couple of pics of some of the 'A' grade Gudebrod metalic threads

       



some of these colours are available in a 'C' grade thread (which is thicker)
