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.

Hugo ... you absolutely amaze me! She's going to love it! Totally!!
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Lookin' good, TT!

Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.
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.
I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
Very nice, simple elegance, I would have said the wrapping was light blue. Very pretty.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
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.
TT.
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!!
Best regards, Dave S.
