Bud8 - what kind of GReen thread is that on the guide wrap? Is that an Amazin wrap? Nice job on the rod.

Nice job!!!!.. looks sweet......
And like Billy, I like those greens..

The overwrap almost looks like a green/black verigated.
But hard to tell in pic..

Greens?

Thanks to Mike I was able to go with a greenn on the wrap as Canalman requested!
I had some greens but after wrapping didnt like them so Mike had mentioned he had the green black varigated and let me have some! Made it sweet!!

Ok Underwraps are lime metallic
guide wraps green/black varigated
trim bands are green metallic

I did the chevron using green HT braid, lime green metallic, copper metallic, black metallic.


Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks!

Thanks Red! Dave mentioned in his email you saw it!

Having Dave like it makes it worth the time and effort it took building!
Gonna try something a little more difficult on my 1209!!!
Maybe an opposing chevron?
