My Second Rod Build

[papajoe222]

Hope I did this right this time.

My second attempt at building a custom rod. This one is for the wife's best friend who just took up fishing and willbe receiving it for Christmas.

This butt wrap is deep purple, lavender, gold, and a single strand of silver. The guide wraps are of the same deep purple with gold trim and center ring.

I started doing this so I'd be able to keep myself busy during this off season. Now it's becoming an obsession. My next one I think will be made for a neighbor that is a reciepient of the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. Not sure which award's colors I'll be using, but I'm leaning toward the Bronze Star.

Pics to follow, if I can remember how to post 'em. LOL

That is a very nice diamond wrap for your second build! Keep 'em coming!
