just finished this one up. Here's a nice small stream rod built on a 7' 3/4wt Tiger eye blank. Has a laminated reel seat insert with BUL5 Nickle silver hardware. Dark brown wraps that match the blank color with Dark orange/copper color metallic trim and some spiral over wraps.

I REALLY like that reel seat!!
And that 7'3/4 ? That is one sweeeeet little rod! That's the first one I built, and wouldn't trade that one for the world!!
I agree Betty, but I really like those wraps. Great work Steve.
I have read and seen lots of pics about these blanks...Did I miss how to get one???
