Thanks Rooster

NOT.......according to my wife :bricks: Well Steven(Rooster1264) got me interested in rod building again :hoboy: The fact that I can custom build any rod to fit me and my specifications is worth my time, not to mention less expensive than a high end factory rod(Calstar/Seeker) :yay:

Here is my first complete build in 20 years. A 40# Pac Bay composite blank(similar to a Calstar Grafighter), Alps guides, HD Fuji seat, slick butt and EVA foregrip.

I will post some better pics. when I can take it outside for better lighting.

Here are some of the basic diamond wrap.

Guide wrap. Black base wrap with a rainbow inlay. First foot wrap is metalic silver, second is black with a rainbow inlay. Oh no, not triple wrapped :passout::jester:

It has been fun and I have a twin to this one that only needs a butt wrap :dance: BTW, this blank and components cost me about $10 more than the famed Ugly Stick :D Definitely not flawless by any means, good thing I have four more blanks on the way :smirk:

Kurt you should have put this in the new forum - looks real good. The silver black combination in the back which way did you do that?

[Hanapa'a Time]

Ted, didn't even know about it :bricks: I thought is was still a :pray: Thanks for the "heads up" and compliment.

Maybe one of the Mods. can move it for me :redface:

The silver is the first wrap over the guide feet, just left some showing when wrapping the second wrap(black w/inlay).

Four more on the way.... it's just as addicting as tuna fishing....

Looks great even though it isn't triple wrapped!

Depends on YOUR definition of triple wrap :confused: Base wrap with two wraps over guides is what I call a triple wrap :shrug: Don't see a need for three wraps over guides on any rod I am gonna build.

Yep I was making a funny because of your above note that you did not triplewrap this rod....

I do the same as you single under and double over... I call it double wrapped.....


Well it depends on what is is...... He did not have relations with that women.... :jester:
