My wifes rod.
This is the 9' 5wt I just built for my honey. It's a Batson Rainshadow blank with black guides. Her favorite color is periwinkle, so I did the wraps in periwinkle with a single strand of gold for an accent. It's nothing fancy, but she'll love it!
TT.

Nice job Hugo she's gonna love it. Is it a Christmas gift or are you giving it to her now?
BTW just a suggestion...might want to put a thin coat of finish over the inscription to prevent it from wearing the writing off over time.

Nice looking rod TT. Your wife is going to really dig that. Periwinkle? I didn't know that was a color.

Very nice, simple elegance, I would have said the wrapping was light blue. Very pretty.

Thanks all,
I'm going to give it to her for Christmas. I was planning on putting some of the flex coat on the inscription, but it started setting as I was coating the last few wraps. I have to get some new brushes before I can put it on.
Now I just have to figure out what to put it in so she doesn't figure it out, lol.

A very large box! Wrapped in newspaper.

Since it's a 4 piece rod, get a long-stem rose box from a florist and wrap it that with a big red ribbon and bow.
Second thought, you better put some flowers in that box just in case.

Thunderthumbs,
Very nice rod/Christmas present. Like the periwinkle too! Bass Bug's idea sounds like the perfect disguise!!! Very clever! Okay BB, how about some plans to get a new gun into the house, under the radar! LOL!!
