Very Nice Chris,
I love the Trimar Colors, especially the black and gold. The irregularitiy of them hides some flaws.....but I can't see any in your pic 
That must be size C Trimar with D black and D gold metallic over? |

TaJon,
I have only wrapped maybe 20 rods in the last 2 years or so. Actually took a class with Reel Ecstasy and from there was off to the races. Some rods rods were new from scratch some old and rewrapped. Once you get into the sickness of building your own it gets additive and you can pick sizes by eye. Its a great hobby. |

I totally agree. I went very simple on my first, but some others have since inspired me to try for more.
Where did you take a class? Seems interesting.

One of the long time Mass Bass guys named Art Kaplan sometimes runs a class through the club in the winter. It was relatively basic but lots of advice. He helped tons, but I also skimmed thru various books for pointers. After that it really just comes down to getting better with every rod.
