Hey everyone,
Here is rod #2, just came off the dryer. It's a Forecast/Batson SU1387F 11'6" rod rated for 2-6 oz's and line weight of 20-40lbs. It was built for a friend to give to another family friend that is graduating from High School. Fuji butt, 3M grip tape butt grip, gold reel seat, ribbed fore-grip and gold & black diamond butt wrap with reverse chevrons (all gudebrod A). I would have done the wrap thread-by-thread but the customer was a little tight with funds (he originally thought he was buying a bass rod...;-)), so I did the best looking wrap possible for the time I could spend. Guides were black underwrap with 2 gold trim bands. First over-wrap was gold A. Second over-wrap was black A with 5 gold trim bands (inspired by a Doc Ski guide I saw... thanks Doc). All comments would be very appreciated. Thanks again, everyone, for all the help this site has given.
Jeff

Very nice looking guide wrap Jeff! Finish looks smooth as a babys bottom!
Nice symetrical inlays.
