Another simple built for this light power CRB Xcamo blank.
It goes very well with this camo reel seat from American Tackle.
Handle setup with cork foregrip and split handle.
Spiral guide placement with white Pearsall Gosammer's silk thread for transparent wrapping effect which I simply called it as the "super glued" wrapping.
After epoxy.
A close up shot on the guides. The silk thread will be transparent after come into contact with the epoxy and it looks as if the guides foot are glued and coated with epoxy. That is why I called it "super glued" wrapping.
I am using Thread Master epoxy and so far it has not disappointed me.

A coating of U40 Cork Seal for the finishing touch.
There has been a backlog as there is a shortage of rod components and I have been kinda busy with my day-job too. Most probably that was one of the reason that not much updates and newly built posting on my blog.
Well, here's one which I built recently with less components. A simple built using Fuji Alconite guide with transparent wrapping. I does not want the guide wrappings to cover up the nice camo patterns on the blank.
This is a 6' CRB X-Camo blank rated at 6-10lb. A very light blank indeed.
The best part was having the same camo design reel seat for this rod. KDPS quicklock with EVA foregrip to cover up the threaded portion the reel seat.

No thread wrapping at decal area to give a seamless look throughout the whole length of the rod.
