Sure disappointing! I have put a lot of work in making it reach the Swedish market. Now when I finally caught the largest fly-tying retailer here and he had recieved his first order, I had to call him again to tell him this. He did not get happy, believe me on that one. He has been standing there telling everyone that 'soon you will find the best tying thread in the world here'... and people have returned daily while he was waiting for the order. When I told the other, smaller, retailer... he had just started working on his order and he was very excited about it.
I guess it's all my fault. It's a "trend" I can't escape. I started working at Ericsson in Söderhamn. Ericsson had been here for ages and was a part of the city. It was a place which everyone KNEW would stay. But it was bought by Emerson... and moved to China. Then I started working at Datortek, a computer school... and now the new goverment cuts all funds to Datortek in Sweden so it's closing down by new year. And one day I became a member of the Gudebrod Pro Staff... and see what happens. 2 days after I tied in their shirt for the first time, the sad letter was written at Gudebrod. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Neville Gosling Skickat: den 2 december 2006 18:41 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [VFB] RE: No more Gudebrod Tony: This is very disappointing news indeed! I have used Gudebrod rod building threads for many years but their fly tying threads never caught on in my part of Canada. Here, Danville was the most common fly tying thread, then along came Uni-Thread, Wapsi Ultra thread and various others. Some months ago, there was a huge quantity of the Gudebrod fly tying threads available on eBay. These were on the old "Gutterman" style spool and obviously old stock. I obtained a good supply but in limited colours in sizes ranging from G to 10/0 Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C.

The 10/0 thread is now history. The reason for this is , not enough profit from tying materials. Shame Shame.
