MHX 6'6" 8-14# : Another basic BC

Just completed another piece. Basic split grip design with spiral guides placement.

Handle setup with KDPS quick lock and EVA foregrip



Again, another practice session on this fish weaving design and I still can't get it 100% right.



The rod decal goes on next to the fish weave 



After 2 layer of epoxy and the blank is now ready for the guides.




The owner of this rod preferred to have a spiral guide placement for this rod and here it goes.



The last guide is not at 0* and I believe that the last guide should be set to "centralized" the line when retrieving.

"Centralized" here meaning having the line at the center of the blank and when we are retrieving in the line will not be lop side in the spool.



Load testing the blank and the spiral guide placement.



Then 2 coating of epoxy on the wrapping and I am done.



Epoxy on the wrapping.



The handle



Another view of the handle



Built by yours truly



and guess what...
the rod weighs only at 124 grams on the digital scale.
