MATAGI Super Blank - UL


Seems like ultralight tackle is in..  and everybody have to own at least one UL rod.

Here's another UL built from Matagi TR60 Super Trout blank. This local area fishing blank is a 6'0" 2 piece, 2-6lb rated and made of carbon fiber.





Custom design cork grip.



Shaped



Matagi Andrew's flat face trigger reel seat with black wood insert.



Test fitting. Found out that the transparent resin butt cap does not match the concept of the handle. It have to go....





Thought of doing the wrapping in dark brown, afraid the rod will look too earthy.. and it goes back to more conventional color... BLACK



So, black it is.. with a single silver thread trimming





Matagi Rod decal..



Cork Seal for protective coating..



Micro guides..
 


The smallest guide used is only #4.5
 



The butt cap finally arrived...



Darker color butt cap to match the handle.
