I use all A for guides underwraps and overwraps. I also use A for underwraps for crosswraps where I use one.


I use C or D over the cork tape near the reel seat and up the taper from the blank. I may also occasionally use a D thread along with A in a cross wrap depending on what I'm trying to get for a look.

With practice , you can make A thread wraps look better than D. They also cover better with finish. A threads have all the strength you'll ever need.
