Katana Series - The SILVER GHOST

Another 4 months project. Spent quite some time test fitting before the actual gluing took place.

The main ingredients:
 
Blank - North Fork (IM) 6'6" 12-25lb
Matagi components
 

Here are some of the photos taken during the test fitting.

The reel seat
 

The in-between..
 

The handle

 

 

 

Now the easier part.. the gluing of all components
Getting cork split grip and winding checks in place.

and now the reel seat ..
 

 

Then the cork grips are coated with U-40 Cork Seal.
 

and wrapping...
By the way, those are FUJI titanium SIC guides.

Epoxy..
 

.. and that's about it..
