Post Browns and greens

I'm doing a rod with a camo theme, so ta speak, has anyone done one?

Most butt wraps that I've seen with shades of browns & greens are usualy on older rods, done with plain cheverons or diamonds...... I'm not crazy about the ones I've seen. I know its impossible to do real tree, hard woods, mossy oak ect., unless you can do individual branches and leaves and thats out of the question for me.

The blank is a yellow Lami. Any ideas or pix's?
Whataya think about the met. bronze for an underwrap to start.

The 2 tone Black & Green Varigated with CP look good. I use them alot over a Lt green. A lt brown would look good as an under wrap also.

hunter wrap

B8F, its difficult to show in a pic the color combo's mentioned above. I used the varigated colors as my under wrap. I like it more than just useing one varig. color because with just one it gives it to much "zebra look", know what i'm trying ta say. Also, the very little metellic gives it a nice shine, you can't see it in the pic. You also can't see the different browns I used. Never been to crazy bout them colors.

Hope this colors catch fish!
