Gup,

I'll try to get some pics soon, I have been really under the weather with a respitory thing, wicked hard to breath....sucks......on some meds now after going to the doc.......

But I have in the spinner now a live lining rod that I think will kick butt. It is a discontinued Lami Blank I got a deal on. Inshore Classic Graphite IC90MH 7.5 ft, 15-25#.

Wrapping it acid wrap, fairly simple with a olive branch inlay. Using Silicon Nitride 2 guides, EVA butt grip with cork foregrip.

I am liking it so far. Have to figure what to do for a decorative butt wrap.

I have another all layed out with grips on. Wrapping it convention also for live lining. It is a Muskie Rod. MHX MU84H-MHX 20-50# I also like the feel of this blank. Will also use SN2 guides as they are one of my preferred guides.

Both blanks felt nice hanging just under 5 lbs from them on the static test for locating the guides.
