Bob,
Im not overly excited about it. I used the blue and silver. I like the silver at least it has a holo look as I assume the gold would. The blue looked just that blue, nothing special. I was however treated to the "Gudebrod thread Clump" in the middle of an underwrap. I checked the spool to see if it said R&D on it, it didnt.
It may have its place but its not with me, sorry to say. Cant wait to try out the Superior thread, seems like quality stuff.
I just made myself a rod using Holland thread from yesteryear. I like it. Wish it was still around
Chris

Chris - what Holo thread from Gudebrod did you use? Do they have that single, flat thread, or is it a band/weave like HT braid?
What's the deal with not finding any Holland thread? How much do they cost when you are able to find them?  What colors do you like?  |

Thanks for the user report Chris. Guess I'll use the silver if I want that "Holo look", but stay away from the colored stuff.
I picked up a spool of Superior's Glitter thread. I'ts very similar to the Prizm Holo thread. Seems to be much stronger though. And it definitely has a holographic look to it...
Will let you know how I like it...

Billy,
The holo thread is just like all metallics, band/weave I guess.
Holland thread is long gone you may find a little here & there. The thread I have came from friends and is mostly an NCP type. I like it cause they had much better quality colors than what is being put out today. I'm a little more traditional in my likes of thread although always looking for something new and a better way to get it done.
Chris
