Very nice looking rod - those wraps up to the first guide are sweet. Other nice details are your 'handle', the striped bass emblem and the American flag.

One thing though - you may need some help with guide alignment... . How does the rod cast with the guides wrapping around like that, does it cast comparably to traditionally placed guides?

Thanks for sharing your work - Pete
