Maroon '5' from Langkawi

The 'maroon' blank travels 420 km to reach me.. Yes, 420 km from Langkawi island to Puchong.

Not sure of the origin of this blank, but it's a 4 section graphite blank with fast action and rated at 5wt according to the owner of the blank.

Handle set up for this fly rod. Full wells cork grip, down locking reel seat with burl wood insert and the EVA bottom fighting butt.




Standard snake guides



Nylon 'scarlet' thread for the wrapping. 



Wrapping of the stripping guide before epoxy. 





This is how it look after epoxy. I must say the 'scarlet' thread really goes well with this blank.



Completed the guide wrapping pending epoxy.



Done with the epoxy






And finally, seal up the cork handle
