8wt LOOP Cross S1

Started another LOOP build. This one is on a LOOP Cross S1 blank in 9ft and 8wt. Perfect for chasing redfish.
Winn custom grip and fighting butt is going to be a sweet addition to this rod. Black reel seat paired with black Recoil guides. Not sure on the color of thread yet but it will pull it all together.

Let me know what you think of the grip choice.

Looking at blacking this build out. 5wt that will have a full wells carbon fiber grip, black reel seat with carbon fiber insert and black pearl recoil guides. Should look sweet when complete. Will be for sale when done if anyone is interested.

Loop Cross S1 5wt

Just finished up the Cross S1 build that I've been working on between other builds.
Wrapped it in Burnt Orange with Black trim to match the Loop real with the custom painted spool.
All of the guides are Black Pearl Recoils and the grip is one of my custom carbon fiber wrapped. Looking forward to using this on trout this fall as well as a small river rod.

LOOP Cross S1 Flatsman 10wt build

This was pretty cool. I was contacted by a rod manufacturer to do a special build for them. I had free reign and they sent the blank and a reel with a custom spool for me to use as color reference. Decided to black it out, used recoil guides and after making the grip I wrapped it in carbon fiber to match the reel seat. Since the spool of the reel is the centerpiece I decided not to take away from it so I just used a matching color as accent wraps. It is a 10wt 4pc Loop.
