Default St Croix II Rod Build

I kept this one pretty simple by the guy's demand. And tell you the truth, after wrapping the other 2, I was happy to oblige. But this is a St. Croix II MH-F blank. It is for the same guy I built the Black/Gold rod for and this one is Black & Blue. But it is equipped with a 10" cork handle / EVA butt cap, Forecast exposed reel seat and cork foregrip. It has zirconium colored blue guides with black chrome frames. The rod is mostly wrapped in black with a 5 wrap band of blue coming off of the foregrip.

Very clean Bubba! There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping things simple. I am leaning more toward the simple approach myself. I didn't know that those SCII blanks had that flake in them, it looks awesome! Really nice, clean work!

Looks good Bubba. I like those blue inserts. It's got a stealthy look, but the blue adds something more to it.

No Bama, I don't do any paint jobs, but I plan on looking in to it around town at some of the body shops. I would like to set up a few more things before I did that though. But if you have any broken guides or busted reel seats, send them my way, along with a blank check hahahahaha.

Joe, they have a super fine silver flake in them. No, its not dust or bubbles, at least for the most part hahahaha.
