Photo Details
Chad Huderle Registered: April 2008 Location: Prior Lake, MN Posts: 79	Had a customer request a bass rod with a baseball theme. I used a Rainshadow RX7 ISB843 blank with size 17 reel seat. The wrap is the circle wrap from Billy V.'s book. Also used the NGC with size 3 micro choker and running guides. All guides feature the Forhan locking wrap. The handle is oak with CA finish and custom decals. I had to make the handle twice as the first one got to thin in the walls and when I inserted the rod butt it popped through the side. :-(

I did consider that but that would have meant 300 or so tiny pieces of thread and a TON of patience. Instead, I created 20 separate narrow decals, one for each side of each circle. After putting on two coats of CP I applied the decals. Once dried I added maybe 5 thin coats of epoxy so seal it all up and even it out. I've done four of these closed wraps now and to tell you the truth, even though they take me five or six hours to complete, they're alot of fun to do.
