Just finished this in time, it's a Christmas gift for my 12 yr old niece. She's use to using my steelhead spin rod so I had to use a blank that was around the same length so she would be use to the length of the rod. Blank is a 10' 7/8wt Tiger eye fly blank. Grips are turned out of brown burl, Copano, Rubberized and I added some purple trim since purple is her favorite color. The reel seat is a cork insert that I wrapped with purple metallic thread and finished over with Threadmaster. Then I coated the hoods with finish and dusted some glitter into the finish while it was drying. Wraps are metallic purple with wide lavender colored trim bands. Also used a set of micro style guides on it.
