I just finished this one up last Saturday, and I fished it on Sunday. It's pretty awesome!

I'm really digging the grip. I did one like this only a half wells on my 4 weight glass rod, and I love how it feels. No idea how it will stand up over time, but if feels pretty solid. If chipping becomes a problem I'll probably just rebuild the grip. Thanks for looking! Re: Epic 686 in nude with gaps in the grip, clear wraps

I looked! Classy looking design! Very nice fit & finish! What thread did you use for the invis wraps?

Thank you Roger.
I use Gossamer Silk thread in white since every other white/natural silk I've tried from other manufacturers has a milky or a slight tint to it. The Gossamer comes out nice every time for me. Re: Epic 686 in nude with gaps in the grip, clear wraps
