I have wanted to take some pics of this & post them for some time but it's just more fun to fish with it than to try to get pictures of it (probably why it's so dirty).

It has a MHX High Mod 7'M-EF Popping blank ,Fuji Micros, Minima seat & I turned the handle down from a piece of Eucalyptus Burl.

The pictures don't do it any justice but it did turn out great.

This pic makes the last 2 wraps look bad for some reason?

It clicks in at a whopping 10.4 OZ

Very nice!! I dabbled in rod building a few years back. Wasn't my thing. I did fish the four rods I made for a couple years though. They functioned just fine, they just weren't pretty like yours!!

Nice job, especially right out of the box. It came in pretty light even with the wood grips.

Congrats!

Thanks guys I had a few problems and more than 1 guide had to be rewrapped before I added the finish. I used Metallic size d thread that was not very user friendly for a first timer but in the end they turned out great.

Looks great, I'd love to be able to do that. I enjoy fly tying and creating things so maybe someday I'll pick it up as a winter hobby. The handle looks great!

Hint= Let DVT do it, the guide wrapping part sucks.

Nicely done! That is a great looking rod!

Very nice.
