Fiberglass AmbeR 6'6" 2/3wt Fly Rod

This is the last piece of such blank in my keeping. I want to finish this fly rod with the standard simplest way a fly rod should be. No fancy inlays and no fancy wrapping.

Amber is the color of this fiberglass blank. It is neither orange nor yellow. Not brown either. 

The handle setup was done many months ago. This project was put on hold for my jigging rod built.

Half wells cork grip with timber insert up locking reel seat.

I prefer to use nylon threads on fly rods. I just love the effect of the threads when it is coated with epoxy.

After the wrapping was epoxy.

No decals but just hand sketch of the rod info on the rod

And to finish off this rod, the cork handle are sealed with cork seal.

and done..

Fast action glass fly rod with LIME GREEN wraps

This is another fast action 3 section 6'-6" 3wt fiberglass blank.

The blank is not painted but dipped with spar urethane as what they do with bamboo blanks. The translucent white fiberglass blank turned slightly yellowish due to the spar coating.

Installed with a half wells cork grip and up locking reel seat. Snake guides placement marked on the blank.

Used lime green nylon thread for wrapping. I have seen others wrapping with this colour and it look very nice but never tried it. So, this is it...

Wrapping done and time for epoxy to do its' magic.

After coated the thread with epoxy, it turned slightly translucent like all nylon threads does. At a certain angle , you can see right through the guide foot.
Luckily  I had all the guide foot prep before wrapping it.

And it is all done.. the first LIME GREEN wraps!
