I love your flies. I have used the ones you gave me at Sowbug a few years ago. 
I’d love the idea of a mini swap.

Subject: Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod

Hi Chuck

I needed a specific brand, size and colour as I had already used up the first 
100yd spool and needed another to finish the rod. Since I started with a 
certain red numbered colour by Gudebrod, I had to get some of the same size, 
brand and colour. Gudebrod closed down around 8 years or so ago Due to the 
scarcity of this puduct, I only found 2 sellers with the colour/size that I 
wanted. They were offering old stock and one of them was so old that the spools 
in question were wooden. The thicker sizes were available in limited quantity 
but not the “A” that I needed. The rod that I was restoring for a friend is a 
1938 Hardy Gold Medal - 4 pieces including 2 tips and intermediate wraps every 
inch or so. By the time I had finished there were 171 thread wraps including 
the splint end ferrules and guides.

Hi Chuck:

Thanks for the offer, but it is the rod wrapping thread in size A that I wanted 
and I have now got it albeit at a steep price. I did buy a fairly large amount 
of Gudebrod fly tying thread on ebay after they went out of business in 
primarily 8/0 and 10/0 with some 6/0 and 3/0 in limited colours. Thanks again 
but I am well stocked in fly tying threads.

Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod

2019-11-13 Thread Gary Webb

I used to tie with Gudebrod partly because their thread was very good.  And
partly because they had partnered with Gary Borger and numbered their
threads according to his color system.  I have
his booklet with all the colors in it.  Makes it easy to match an insect's
color with his system.  I think some tying materials were numbered too.
 So when Gudebrod folded their tent I was a bit disappointed.   These days
I'm not so particular about thread color for tying.  But wrapping rods
would be a different story.
I'm glad you found what you were looking for.

Re: [VFB] VFB & Gudebrod

2019-11-13 Thread Beer mit

Hi all:

It has been a while and I periodically say hi to members here. 
Since moving to Israel a year and a half ago I have fished very little as 
fishing here is nothing to be proud of. I had a bit of a fish in france a 
couple of months ago but apart from a bit of a fish with my son in the park 
lake nothing else has really happened. 
My plans include fishing the Sea of Galilee and as luck would have it, I 
spotted some rising rainbows in the Jordan river (on the Jordanian border) 
during a rafting trip. It turns out that they ended there at some point from 
fish farms in the area. Certainly not a local species. 
Being so close to Europe it is a quick and cheap.flight to Europe so I intend 
to make.my way there. I now travel alot for work (currently in Japan) so I 
intend to figure out a way to.take a compact fly rod and 'fish my way around 
the world'.

Keep safe, healthy and fishing. 

Regards,


Reuven

Hi Chuck

I needed a specific brand, size and colour as I had already used up the first 
100yd spool and needed another to finish the rod. Since I started with a 
certain red numbered colour by Gudebrod, I had to get some of the same size, 
brand and colour. Gudebrod closed down around 8 years or so ago Due to the 
scarcity of this puduct, I only found 2 sellers with the colour/size that I 
wanted. They were offering old stock and one of them was so old that the spools 
in question were wooden. The thicker sizes were available in limited quantity 
but not the “A” that I needed. The rod that I was restoring for a friend is a 
1938 Hardy Gold Medal - 4 pieces including 2 tips and intermediate wraps every 
inch or so. By the time I had finished there were 171 thread wraps including

Hi Tony:

The original number is 326 scarlet. The two spools that I purchased on eBay are 
marked #396 and I don’t think that is a Gudebrod number. The red does not quite 
match and I suspect the seller has respooled from a bulk spool of another 
brand. I still have an old Gudebrod colour chart from about 1986 that lists 2 
other red colours being #355 Candy Apple Red and #206 Garnet. I suspect I have 
been scammed but at least I have 2x 100 yard spools of red for future builds. I

business after losing a conract to supply dental floss which it seems was 
keeping the company going. I lose track of time but it must have at least 5 or 
more years ago. I recently restored a Hardy split-cane rod and used a new spool 
of red Gudebrod thread that I had but I ran out before finishing the rod and

the job and repace what I had used. Neville (Nev) GoslingGreater VancouverBC

shouldn't go out and catch some fish. That's more precise. He is now eager to 
ty some flies with me.
Tying season is ahead of us, so I'll intend to stock my boxes with my hoppers, 
the blue (parachute) beetle and some EHCs.

However, I'm wondering if I shouldn't add something new to my arsenal. For

Hi Chuck:

Thanks for the offer, but it is the rod wrapping thread in size A that I wanted 
and I have now got it albeit at a steep price. I did buy a fairly large amount 
of Gudebrod fly tying thread on ebay after they went out of business in 
primarily 8/0 and 10/0 with some 6/0 and 3/0 in limited colours. Thanks again 
but I am well stocked in fly tying threads.

and not the easiest to thread. Plus I find that there is way too much wax on

I seem to be able to break the 10/0 no matter how gingerly I try to use it.

I have been using the Bennechi 12/0 and absolutely love it.

Re: [VFB] Gudebrod products

2014-02-26 Thread Chuck Alexander

I have several of the long skinny spools of various colored 10/0 gudebrod that 
I could send you as I don’t have a bobbin that will hold those spools. (guess I 
could take my new propane torch, some brazing rods, and build a special, wide 
bobbin) Just let me know if you can use them. I know I have yellow, and dark 
olive, light olive, gray I think, white I think, and maybe a few other colors..

[VFB] Gudebrod G thread

2013-05-09 Thread Anthony Spezio

I still have not found any Gudebrod but I did try some rod wrapping thread from 
Mud Hole. It is a bit heavier but it will weave fine. The fly will be a sz 12 
instead of a sz 14. They have the right colors too. I got some Yellow and 
Chartreuse that wove well for the Green Drake. I also got some Brown and 
Fluorescent Orange that will work for the Rusty Dunn though I have not tyed one 
with it yet.
I will try to post a photo later.

Tony turned me on to Gudebrod, but it was right at the end of their fly tying 
thread days. I went on an exhaustive search for a suitable replacement and I 
found that Hook and Hackle's Euro Thread is a very close match. Both threads 
are polyester and the 12/0 Euro thread is perfect for the midges that I like to 
tie. The diameter is much finer than other midge threads. I will have to try 
some of this Veevus thread you guys have been talking about. It is more 
expensive, but if it is as good I will use it.

Earlier in this thread people were talking about needing certain thread
colors. One of the things I've been doing is using white thread  coloring
it w/ a permanent marker, which is something I learned from Bill Sherer. I
still have black, olive  brown,  a multitude of colored floss, but
generally if it's something other than black, olive or brown, I use markers.

Re: [VFB] Gudebrod thread

2012-11-14 Thread Scott Bearden

Tony turned me on to Gudebrod, but it was right at the end of their fly
tying thread days. I went on an exhaustive search for a suitable
replacement and I found that Hook and Hackle's Euro Thread is a very close
match. Both threads are polyester and the 12/0 Euro thread is perfect for
the midges that I like to tie. The diameter is much finer than other
midge threads. I will have to try some of this Veevus thread you guys
have been talking about. It is more expensive, but if it is as good I will
use it.

[VFB] Gudebrod

2010-12-02 Thread Harmen Boshuis

For those that would like to know.

Looks like Gudebrod may be back in business.

Just received an announcement a supplier and they expect new stock to start 
arriving mid winter. This was for rod wrapping thread so not sure what else 
there may be.

2010-12-02 Thread Neville Gosling

Hi Nick:

I beg to differ. They ran into serious financial difficulties and layed off
the entire staff. Production was ended for a period of time while the owners
sought financial help. I believe that they sold off the medical and dental
floss side of the business and the electronics division assets only.

 

They are now back concentrating on what they do best - Fishing threads etc.

2010-12-02 Thread Niclas (Gmail)

Didn't know that. But the situation was like I said in the beginning. I was
member of their pro staff (together with Tony. They terminated their tying
program (together with the pro staff) and Chris Helm bought a big part of
what was left from their threads. I only got half of my yearly pro staff
share, but I had to turn to Chris to buy the colors I didn't get. Fly-tying
stuff disappeared from their page, but the rest, rod building products
included, remained unchanged. I didn't know something had happened since
then.

I was on the Gudebrod Pro Staff for 6 or 7 years. They closed down the program 
because it was not financially productive. I guess that is the reason for 
shutting down the tying thread production too. Personally I think it was the 
best tying thread made. Yes, that is my opinion. Now it looks like all thread

  Rod making legend lays off entire workforce 
  Posted: 
  05 Aug 2010 12:02 AM PDT
  
   The Gudebrod thread company 
  appears to be another casualty of recent economic upheaval, with banks 
  unwilling to lend and small businesses caught without capital.
  Gudebrod has been synonymous with silk and rod winding threads for 
  decades, yet has been forced to lay off its entire workforce.
  
W.E. “Nat” LeGrande Jr., company president, said he is hopeful 
the layoffs, which occurred Friday, will be temporary. He said about 60 
to 65 union and non-union workers have been temporarily laid off from 
the 274 Shoemaker Road facility while the financially troubled, 
family-owned company seeks new capital.
  - via 
  The Mercury
  The company has been struggling since the loss of the Glide dental 
  floss contract in 2007, which represented 63% of their net business, 
  proving yet again how little angling dollars contribute to a 
  company’s bottom line.
  Us hoarders have learned to snatch up whatever stocks remain, as too 
  often published reports of “temporary” setbacks are found to be permanent 
  closures.
  It’s likely someone will fill the gap, but if you’re an aficionado of 
  their products I would lay in a goodly supply of the colors used most. 
  They can use the bucks, and you’d be covered for the foreseeable 
  future.
  Gudebrod makes a wide variety of silk, nylon, and Kevlar threads for 
  both rods and flytying. Their “NCP” (no color preservative) thread was 
  quite the rage in the day as it remained opaque with no loss of color 
when 
  a rod finish was applied.
  Thread making must be a hellish business as we’ve lost both Danville’s 
  Monocord and (perhaps) the entire Gudebrod line in the same year.

gudebrod NCP thread The Gudebrod thread company appears to be another
casualty of recent economic upheaval, with banks unwilling to lend and small
businesses caught without capital.

Gudebrod has been synonymous with silk and rod winding threads for decades,
yet has been forced to lay off its entire workforce.

W.E. Nat LeGrande Jr., company president, said he is hopeful the layoffs,
which occurred Friday, will be temporary. He said about 60 to 65 union and
non-union workers have been temporarily laid off from the 274 Shoemaker Road
facility while the financially troubled, family-owned company seeks new
capital.

xt 

The company has been struggling since the loss of the Glide dental floss
contract in 2007, which represented 63% of their net business, proving yet
again how little angling dollars contribute to a company's bottom line.

Us hoarders have learned to snatch up whatever stocks remain, as too often
published reports of temporary setbacks are found to be permanent
closures.

It's likely someone will fill the gap, but if you're an aficionado of their
products I would lay in a goodly supply of the colors used most. They can
use the bucks, and you'd be covered for the foreseeable future.

Gudebrod makes a wide variety of silk, nylon, and Kevlar threads for both
rods and flytying. Their NCP (no color preservative) thread was quite the
rage in the day as it remained opaque with no loss of color when a rod
finish was applied.

Thread making must be a hellish business as we've lost both Danville's
Monocord and (perhaps) the entire Gudebrod line in the same year.

In some shops the YLI silk rod wrapping thread is already up to 12.00  100 
meter spool.. That is what I use to wrap my Bamboo rods. I can still get it for 
8.00 a spool.
I still have a lot of Gudebrod Nylon Rod Wrapping thread. I only use it on 
Graphite rods.
