Shaded diamond wrap left open. No high or low spots in the epoxy. The only trick I use it to apply finish, it comes out like this on it's own - no sanding, no adding finish to low spots - no voodoo. Just apply finish and heat it and it comes out perfect.

I dug deep into my secret stash and pulled out a GUSA SW 70MH I had painted pink about 8 years ago. Grabbed some old pale pink EVA I had stashed, added some new Pink & Aqua EVA and made this set of grips.

Imade this for a good friend, his son has autism. HE is building the rest of the rod for him. The logo for autism is teh puzzle pieces, and I came up with teh fish outline on my own after several failed ideas/designs.

Nothing was "wrong" with it, but I knew when it was done that this was not going to match the guy I'm building the rod for. I basically interview almost all peopl ei build rods for, and try to get a handle on their style, what they would like, and then convince them to let me do what I want on the rod. If I wasn't cutting something off every now and again, I'd be doing something
