Finally I have some photos of my first rod building project to share. It is a light shore spinning rod built on StCroix SCIII blank with Fuji VSS reel seat, Fuji Titanium Alconite guides and marine grade aluminium winding checks. Built using KR Concept approach, and thanks to many contributors in this forum who were a massive help to me.

Completely agree with the above posts. Much better looking than my first 5 builds! Also the photography work is superb. You are off to a fantastic start. But be warned, it is highly addictive.

I'm compelled to pass out the accolades as well. Beautiful work, and very tastefully done. That's a rod to be proud of.

Well done !!!
