This is a Gator Glass SHARK blank: 10' 80-130 lb. for a Penn Senator 14/0
Used black frame/black ringed American Tackle turbo guides + tip
25 - 20 - 16 - 12 - 12- 12 -12 - 12 - 12 + 28/12 tip
AAAALL BLACK: black underwrap and black guide wrap
Black Aftco Gimbal, 14" Rear custom sharkskin grip with a wide diamond pattern, Stuart size 6 reel seat with attached tuna block, 11" black EVA foregrip
Now what I want to do with the 14/0 is powder coat all the chrome to black. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANYONE THAT CAN DO THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
I have the 14/0 spooled with black 130# dacron as well, so you see where I'm going with this.







This is how I finished the SHARK UNLIMITED

WOW that rod looks awesome. I love it all blacked out. I started my GG Shark this morning, going with black and blue on mine. Are those the Halide Turbos? Same as what I'm using. Looks really good.

Idk where you are located but there's a place in Tampa Bay that does powder coating. I had a pair of chrome Big Foots and they coated them black. I for got the name of the place but I can find it if your interested. Go on your computer and go to google and just type in powder coating or something in that nature in if there is any places around your area that powder coat they will show up.

Nice build man! I think it would look awesome if you paint the 14/0 black

why did you wrap your whole rod in black thread instead of just painting it?
