A rod built in memorial to his Mom that passed...Very happy to do this for him.
He wanted the same purple and green I used on my last build.
MHX MB783 blank ,Amtak Nanolite micro guides,Shaved Minima reel seat,Eva grips.With a memorial decal on top and rod specs on bottom.
The tiger wrap is two different shades of purple on top to help blend better with the purple winding checks.Keep the guide wraps simple with locking wraps.He using a Revo S with the rod and the balance is dead on the threads of the reel seat.Ive been using masking tape to pre-balance the rods as a mock weight to get the balance pre-epoxy..Seems to work really well.
Overall,I think it came out very nice and he gets to see it tomorrow.
It'll be nice to present this rod in person.
