12 lb class Boat Rod 8 feet with Marbled Finish

I've spent the past couple of days, confined in-doors by the rough weather, refurbishing my own 12 lb class Northwestern 8 foot Kevlar / Carbon boat rod, for salt water Bass angling during the coming season here in the UK. It's 10 years old, but with a new set of Fuji Concept chromium guides and a marbled effect on the blank between the butt and first guide, it looks good. I'm looking forward to using it.
