Wanted to rebuild my first rod, now that I know a little more about building. This is my third build and second crosswrap. I think it turned out great. Going to be used with a 12/0.
It is a Seeker 775-8 blank, which I cut down to 7'6" to stiffen it up a bit, still has pretty good bend though. American tackle seat. Aftco Tuna Block. 12" Rear Grip, 14" Fore Grip. Fuji Heavy Duty Boat Guides 25-20-16-12-12-12-10-10. Still needs a tip
Butt Wrap
Guide Wrap
Whole Rod

Thanks Travis.
Joe, I just cut six inches off the tip with a hacksaw. Stiffened it up quite a bit. Left the butt alone from what it was originally.
