Dude, those look real clean. I've decided on my bait casting reel but need a good bass rod. I think I may look into getting a custom wrapped one if any of our members offer it!

Looks good. I'm starting to do rods too, nothing to crazy. Something tells me your not using a drier for the epoxy finish. Makes a world of difference

Thanks! And we do offer custom rod building ;)
vincentek9 and myself both wrap rods as a hobby and a side job.

CLEAN! We do use a rod dryer, im only a few months into rod building. Ive gotten the Flex Coat mixing/applying down now so all my work comes out clean.

So are you taking custom orders yet?:)

Also you should look at adding a leash ring where your split handle is like the okuma baidarkas. It would be a nice touch. Your work looks killer clean by the way

I like it! Keep posting them on here.
I'm sure you know, but the rod building forum on bloodydecks has some incredible work. I look forward to seeing you start doing cross wraps, dragon scale wraps, or some tigers... its an expensive and addicting hobby. haha
