Finally finished #3. This is a Batson SU1569 surf rod cut down to 10 feet for shark fishing the Texas coast. Used Batson SU series guides and also did my first spiral wrap. First guide is @ 45 degrees. Second is @ 100, third is @ 160, then the rest 180 (size 12's) straight out to an acid roller tip. Hadn't tried any of this so it was lots of trial and error, but finished product performs amazingly well. Any comments would be very much appreciated.

I'm also curious about your photos. Obviously you photography skills are as good as your wrapping skills. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the nice words guys. Actually I have a friend that is a photographer and he, for a very nominal fee, has been taking all the photos for me. He has a studio with all the cool lighting and everything he needs to make the pics turn out the way they do.
