I was able to complete my first rod. I used it last week to catch some red snapper out of Port A last week. The sad part is that it did not travel well in the truck on the way home. Not sure what happened but now I have about 2 inches of scratches on the rod between 2 guides. Looks like I will be adding a decal of so...

Here's a couple that I was finally able to finish.

I've been trying to figure out what to do on the split grip for this rod I am finishing up. I tried a red tiger wrap, but it didn't "pop" like I wanted. I tore it off and saw the mono wrap tutorial and decided to give it a try. I wanted it to complement and blend in with the grip, so I just went with a sim...
