It is a brown, TFO Mangrove blank. The red surprised me. I just used it to learn how to wrap the thread. I had no intention of actually using it, but it looks better than I expected. The red is the only non-metallic thread in the picture. The red with white tips might look good. But I am leaning towards the copper. I'm having fun playing with it.

I'm with Linecaster. Red or Gold. OK, Copper. The green ain't bad either.

Thanks for the comments. I don't have any brown thread, but I do have these two options on the right. I really like this style of thread, but not sure I want it this time. We may have a winner with this combination with the red and copper: I guess the hard part starts now....

That does look good, Rex. I redid the eyes on a spinning rod when I was in my teens. Fun, but I also had the attention to detail of a 14 year old, lol.
I like what you are doing, and look forward to seeing pics of your progress. Please keep us updated.
