Some experiments on a fly rod for myself. Not my best work but the butt is 4 strips of green pheasant tail. Wraps are R/A poly with Sulky metallic trims and on the stripper, some Gudebrod green silk. Butt has CP, guides do not. The silk basically turned black.

My first fly rod Randy. Used it for the first time last weekend. Even though it was with a spinning reel and live bait, it's a fun rod. My wife told me that it sounds pretty when I cast. Not sure if that's good or bad. LOL. I'll eventually rewrap it as I'm not happy with it. Thread colors are not what I was looking for, the feather job is second rate and I did a pretty crappy job on the finish. Very amateurish all around. I don't show it to people when they are at the house because I'm actually embarrassed of my work on it.
I took these pics yesterday. Best I've gotten since I finished it. This rod just doesn't like the camera.
