Butt Wrap on a Rainshadow IST1025.

Inspired by Munich Rod Man photo, I think I have deciphered the pattern correctly.

Decal from the Decal Connection, they do great work.

As requested by a friend, and inspired by Tom Kirkman, my version of a camo rod. Built for sturgeon in the Columbia Estuary.

So I needed a new salmon rod,thanks Rainshadow, I think I am going to like this one, the ocean opens for kings in 19 days, WOO HOO. And the lesson on this rod, use cork rings, and I don't know if I like CP, lol.

This blank started it's life as an Ugly Stick, and transformed into this. It was built for the fiance, and at least she likes it. Spiral Wrapped no less.

Well Second rod, closed wrap, first MAJOR learning experience, no CP, well this is not what I planned, but so far nothing has quite come out the way I envisioned it.

And my first effort at guide wraps.

Well Folks this is my first effort, a Calstar GF700M for Sturgeon.
