Matagi UL for upcoming UAG Southern series 2016

2nd rod for this year is another MATAGI hollow fiberglass blank ultralight built. I did that the same fish weaving design on it. Just thought I need more practice to get it right.

It is far from what I expected it to be. Still need more practice, I guess.

Partially finish.

KR concept Fuji k-guides

After a few coating of epoxy

Adding shadow lines effect to MATAGI rod decal

Grey and black camo EVA for the split handle. Clean and simple handle with no winding checks.
