This one is a CTS EBT783 in Charcoal Metallic. Butt wrap is done with Sulky Silver Metallic thread in Bronze, Silver, Black. The guides are done in Gudebrod Black, with Orange trim band and inlay. Guides are Batson Zirconium Charcoal rings, PacBay Woven Graphite Real Seat.

This thing is so shinny that it is almost impossible to get a good picture of the butt wrap without the light reflecting off it and creating dark and light spots in it, combine that with my poor photo skills and you have the makings for bad pictures  ;D

River Warrior,

Stole a couple of the pics so that I could gamma correct, and correct the brightness and contrast so that I could see the details.

Just a little to much b-ling for me, but that is one fine looking rod..

I give it a big 10

Tight Wraps!!  

I agree ReelMech not exactly what I had in mind when I started it. It was made to match up with a Daiwa Black Widow II reel.

For some reason outside, it doesnt looks as "flashy" as it does inside.

Beautiful rod!! I like the bling factor. ;D That orange metallic thread looks copper from the pictures. I would be proud to own it.

Blaine,

I have to agree... and it would match my TD-Z BBS just perfectly!    I may have to copy your thread colors for a new rod for the BBS...  

Thanks Jimzee & Flechero.

Flechero the thread I used was the "Sulky Silver Metallic" in 8005 (bronze), 8001 (silver). Great looking thread just a BEAR to work with. Its flat ribbon like thread. Like there Holoshimmer thread.
