Nope , haven't tried superior. Got tons of gudebrod to use up. As I buy more , I hope to give other threads a try. it would be hard to beat this madeira. Its nice and fine and lays down smooth without twisting or the metallic peeling off in spots like the gudebrod. Sometimes i get so pissed at the gudebrod with all the bad spots in a spool.

Al Goldberg says you really should use color preserver with the madeira. he says that i was lucky this time. Another time you may get fisheyes with the madeira if you don't use the color preserver.

I'm going to be doing one in Cobalt blue soon. Not a fancy rod , just blue underwraps on the guides. Its a really nice blue color.
