well ive been building/re wrapping a couple rods over the last month but with computer problems im just now getting to post them up

first rod: this is jimmys(team hard hookers) harrington 552. the grips and reelseat were put on by cape haze rods and re wrapped by me. double sided cheveron guide wrap-maroon over wraps with yellow in the center with gunmetal center trim band

the original grips and realseat installed by cape haze rods

second rod: my buddys kingfish rod. hes had it for about 10 years and professionally kingfishes so he decided to have me re wrap it with the blue inserted american tackle turbos and keep the original grips, realseat and gimbal. this is just one of them i have to match 5 more rods so all rods are the same.
the original realseat and grips
guide wrap, used blue to match the blue guides
blue inserted guide
4-sided cheverons

third rod: this is a little rod i built for myself. its a penn lonbeach rod that i cut down to 4ft and put a purple spiral in it. it has x-cut grips, american tackle reelseat and gimbal and 9 fuji guides.
