Here are a couple of othere pictures of the wrap. I realy dont know a Cheveron from a Chevy but maybe these will give you a better look. Regardless the rod itself still s#^&*.

What blank is the rod built on?

Sorry for the delay. I just found your question. The blank was a Lumiglass 7ft 18-30lb 1-3oz. I built it fo Blues and stripers but I should have used something lighter. I just made one for my son that I cast today for the first time. It a American Tackle 7ft 12-25lb 1/4-1/2 oz. Much better cast. I think that will be my next rod and save the other for tuna.
