NRX blue thread

When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

NRX blue thread

Post by johnnybassboat » Mon May 17, 2021 10:58 am

A buddy of mine just dropped of his Loomis nrx 853c and it has a guide missing the insert. Looking for the closest color to the blue wraps on this rod. Would love to have a spool or just enough to finish this rod. Anybody out there able to help me out.

It will be interesting if you can match it. I’ve seen some posts on this forum before, and the actual color appears to be proprietary, but some have come close from what I remember. I hope you have good luck enough to get hold of some or something close.

I know it is an NRX, but he said he aint to fussy. I found a guide that matches up pretty good, just looking for some thread that is in the ballpark. Told him it wont be a perfect match, and he said "it is just a fishing rod". :lol:

I believe it’s Blue Dunn, too. Post a pic when you are done and what thread you used, will possibly be helpful for others in the future!
