    Do you have a picture looking down the rod blank and the alignment of the guides? What does the guide wraps look like?

    The wrap for the hook keeper and guides match the color of the blank except the top 4 wraps. I used a neon yellow tiger strip to highlight the tip to watch the tip. I actually had a different set of guides it but, did not like how it performed. The guides were ceramic and a different “guide train” that was kind of old school. I did it the second time with these guides and it has been a great performing rod. I use it a ton with 1/8 oz.-1/4 oz. jigs, shiver minnows and even small cranks.
    I now build all my rods handles using carbon fiber. CF is so much lighter and more sensitive than anything out there.
    This is my last cork handle.
    I will get another picture for the length of rod.
