As someone considered as being from "The Dark Side" I would think the graphics should be in both directions. Not only to accomidate both right and Left handers but also if someone were to request fish on either side of the rod. When I design a wrap for someone I usually orient it the direction they wish. Most people are right handed so the bulk of my designs are set with the fish head towards tip for the reasones posted above. Little side note. I am one of the few wrappers the wraps with the butt of the rod to the right. One of the great things about weaves is that I can design them oriented any way I or the customer wants. The HUGE drawback of course is that it takes sooooomuch time to do a weave. Some can probably make several complete rods in the time it takes to so one action weave. I am kinda surprised there arent that many decals with action. I have actually done some work with decals in conjunction with tiger wrapping using two open layers going in opposite directions of course. Well that is my $ .02

Is there anyone who makes decals that depict the profession of their customer? I have an order where an aviation logo is requested. I have doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. who would like a small logo of what they do on their fly rods. Any ideas?

Decal Connection! You give it to them and they'll make a gold or silver metallic decal in whatever size you want. Just call and talk to them

Doc we could do a blue Moiere next to a deep green Moiere with imbedded Yellowfin and Hoo facing each other from both sides of the rip if we had mirror images.
