Building another MATAGI fiberglass XUL blank. 6' 2-4lb noodle action with lots of fun hooking up palm size fish.
No cork component this time round. Just simple skeleton reel seat and a EVA butt piece. I used an aluminium insert for the reel seat.
Fuji K-guides KR concept.
MATAGI butt cap
MATAGI Rod decal.
Metallic white thread wrapping to K-guide with silver trimming.
Another angle of the guides .
The full handle view.
Simple, white and clean...
I wonder how it looks with black frame guides... :)
This 6' fiberglass XUL blank is rated at 2-4lb. Why XUL you may asked....
It is XUL because it's glass and it's soft...but apart from all that, this little rod is really fun to cast with a UL spinning setup.
I used Andrew's fishing flat face spinning reel seat FP type for this project of mine. Unfortunately they have ran out of the burled wood type, if not the handle will look even nicer.
A few shot on the handle.
Fuji SiC K guides with metallic white wrapping and silver trim.

Did a rush job on this rod for this......
If you have noticed, there is no rod decal on the rod in the 'fish' photos.
As this was a really rush job, I just finished what just need to be done and finished it off after the fishing trip... LOL
And.. NO, you are eye sights are perfectly well... there are 2 Matagi XUL rods in the photo. Pretty much the same stuff but they are not alike...
