Simple guide wrap on a rod I'm rushing to get done for a Tuna trip on Friday. The picture of the completed guide was taking as it turned 40RPM with the 1st coat of Aftcote on it.

Ralph - it is (was) the Charlotte Hornets colors. Teal & Purple I think look good together - I did spend about 2 hours tinkering with different sequences of the same colors before settling on this one. Doc - gotta love trim bands. Each guide underwrap took me between 8-12 minutes. I work way too slow, I think ha;fway through I zone out and loose my train of thought. In addition to teh HN20 index card with teh underwrap/overwrap marks on it, I had a set of Dividers to make the spacing easy & accurate for each guide.
