Back in Glass

Built a 5wt on a Jade colored Blue Halo blank earlier this year for a client.


He is enjoying fishing the new glass rod so much that I was asked to build a duplicate on a Cranberry colored Blue Halo blank for him.
First step was to wrap the handle in carbon fiber.


After applying finish to it and then sanding down, two more coats of finish were applied to give it shine and protection. Then the Black Pearl recoil stripping guide and the snake guides were wrapped in black thread,


Here is the finished rod.



And a look at the two of them together.
