AMZ last SC UL

This rod project was in queue at least for 4 months before kicked off. Another UL blank from St Croix with slight modification on its' length.

And here are the components used. A simple 'Black and Red" theme.

Configuring the handles before shaping the EVA handle.
                                                                    

Then the shaped EVA handle was test fitted before gluing.

When I was about to start the guide wrapping, I had a second look at it and it looks incomplete to me. Something was missing....

I just have to get the winding check in the fore grip...

Had another look and now it was complete.

Then for the guides.

1 coat of epoxy..

After the 3rd coat of epoxy and a few days for curing.... the rod is done.
