Need thread color for TXL 2wt
Mar 10th, 2010, 2:35am
 
Does anyone know the right thread color to use for a TXL that will match the blanks color?
Does golden olive sound about right?
Thanks for the help

Sounds about right to me.  Chiaki may know, he builds on Sage blanks all the time.  I  think KC may have built an TXL  undecided.

Hi Jon,
 
The best thing to do is contact Sage phone or email.  I've done that in the past and they have always been very helpful.
 
Thanks,
Chiaki

Thread color was perfect
Sage XL 7'10" 2wt 3 piece

 
Re finished the reel seat

 
Sanded the grip down just a little bit

 
Added alignment marks

 
Polished the hardware

 
I think it came out very nice.
Blu should like it when he gets back.
