Was going to throw in my two cents worth, but my mentor Volvo has, not surprisingly given you the correct info.
One thing that wasn't mentioned was filler/preserver. Don't forget to use it.
Another thing I should mention, if you are going to use black thread, stick with the one brand.
Good luck with it

Here some info for you
A thread is used for rods up to 15kg , C thread is used for rods 15kg to 30kg
and D thread is used for 37kg to 60kg .
To day we use A thread for 1kg to 24kg after that we used D thread for 37kg and 60kg.
The Gold guides are call " Gold Cermet "and will put a real dent in bank book
So the one you can use are call " Alconite " they work for most types of light rods say up to 15kg . and are top grade guide
If you would like any more info just post it and I will see If I can help you out

White-night is right; however I don’t quite use the same size threads as what he does for those given rods. I mix and match thread to get the desired effect I’m looking for, not to bulky and not to stream line. I.e. if you try to use A thread on a stand up 37kg then, yes it will look nice and flowing but it won’t last two long. A thread is great for rods up to 15kg; I then use C thread for every thing after that including most chair rods. Once I hit the real heavy chair rods, let’s say 130 to unlimited, then I use D thread as my over bind. I don’t think too many here would be building chair rods, in which case you shouldn’t even own a spool of D thread. You should have A and C thread and that’s pretty much it, that will cover you for most all rods you may build for your local area.
