fisheR's custom jigging blank.

Another light jigging rod with Shimano custom parts and SG- Ti RSOL guide.
The blank is a custom jigging blank with 3mm thick blank wall.
My 1st attempt to do a dragon scale wrap failed miserably.. It has been a few years since I last did this wrapping.
My second attempt turns out reasonably okay, I would say.
Had it epoxy and stick on the water transfer decal before another epoxy coating.
Another view of the dragon scale.
Some tips on my sleeves. Golden decorative trimming at the winding check wrapping.
SG Titanium RSOL guides
The completed rod and very well balanced.

Another personal rod...
Making myself a heavier piece for mackerel , sails and 'tong gas' on jigs. The 5 layer toray carbon X-wrap blank have a blank wall thickness of 3mm and 6'5" long. It's not a solid blank and the diameter of the butt is roughly measured 11mm.
I used a size #17 VSS fuji reelseat with EVA foregrip on the KDPS and ALPS double leg guides.
Setting up of the handle.

Under wrapping for the guides
Epoxy on the decal before starting off with the guides.
ALPS guides UP
I applied 3 epoxy coating on the wrapping. Light coating.
All dried up..
A full view of the completed rod.
I wanted to test this out on my next fishing trip... unfortunately, it was hijacked by my buddy who happens to drop by ... there goes my no #9
