Thought you guys might like this

here is a copy of different diamonds,chevrons and combinations which I have done for color samples.
It might just help you in choosing colors for your next rod.

Just when I thought I had done all I wanted for now. Now I have to bulid another one. Thanks Mike
There should be a rule that for every rod you build you should get a free reel! Now I have a ton of rods and no reels. And I can't build them.
