Built on a LOOP 590-4 Cross S1 blank and completely blacked out. Used Black Pro Wrap thread, Black reel seat with carbon fiber insert to match the custom carbon fiber grip that has a Diablo inlay on it. Really like the way it turned out.

Bliss
It's pretty awesome to see the results of something that you built for someone to take on a trip work out.
This was a custom Loop 10wt that I built earlier for someone who would be fishing in Mexico for some large saltwater fish.
Here are some of the pictures that he shared.

LOOP Cross S1 1090-4 Build has begun
Started on this build for Loop and should have it ready soon. Carbon fiber grip with the Loop logo sealed inside. Recoil black pearl stripping guides and heavy duty black snake guides to finish it off. This rod will be taken on a trip to catch some Rooster fish.
I'll update the pictures when the finish is applied and the rod is completed.

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 990-4 Cross S-1
Finished up a build for LOOP USA. This is the second time that I've been asked to build a rod for them that they will be giving to a friend.
The blank was matched up with a set of Recoil Black Pearl stripping and snake guides. Carbon fiber wrapped full wells grip, American Tackle reel seat and Pro Wrap Purple thread.
With the crazy weather going on, it took awhile to get this one ready for finish. After a few warm days I was able to apply the coat and get it to dry properly.
Looking forward to the next one.
