Saw this topic in a recent edition of Rodmaker and had to try it.
Pics say most of it.

Yeah...the more I read about this hobby...I find out that you must have clean hands by using alcohol before you work with thread. I'm starting to wonder if Stickfish has an 'Intel' like clean room and matching suit....:)...crisp stuff

The trim bands are not that hard to do :cool:.
I like that thread as it is about as close to blood read as you can get - Gudebrod Crimson NCP.
The article on doing those bands has some interesting ideas - Z's and slashes come to mind and maybe a lightening bolt :whistle:

I have searched like a mad man...and I can't find Gudebrod Crimson thread....do you guys think the garnet would come close to this look of SF's wrap??
