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.

Well like everything else in this country i would
guess there is some company in Japan waiting to take over the entire fly
fishing
sport like they are trying to do with Bass fishing.But we can hope not the
prices of a crankbait from Japan is around 16.00 now what a deal.Can you see
the
price of thread going to 15.00 a spool?

The report I received said the entire workforce - my take is
that the are totally closed down and unless they can find some capital, the
company is likely finished.

Is this true for sewing thread as well? I sew with Gudebrod
thread from the fabric store. Joyce
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
production is shut down.

making legend lays off entire workforce

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.

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.
