Inlayed handle with Alps reel seat and Freeway gimbal. Would have looked better with black handles, black and gold seat IMO.

Mark - I did a similar colored wrap a couple of months ago on a Red blank where I planned to use Red grips. The Orange was "stronger" than the Red, and it really didn't match the blank or the grips. I think you're in the same boat with this which is why you would have preferred to use Black grips. It looks good the way it is though.

Thanks everyone for the comments. It has made my decision to use red rest a little easier with me. Thanks Billy. I know what you mean about the orange, particularly in the flouro. It really seems to overpower the other colours.

Black would have added more contrast for the wrap to stand out against, but I wouldn't beat myself up over it. It looks great just the same.
