    Ok, I’m doing my 1 good deed for the year. Building this for Bullcans and he asked for good visual walleye/perch rod. I was going to wrap it in purple and gold as a joke, but feared it would have the Queens’ curse. So, since this is for a fellow IDO member, I thought I’ld see what “IDOers” would pick or lay out. Here is your components and colors. what would you do?

    If it were “my” rod I would match the tip and go with a “flo orange wrap, but that is just me ..

    The white is white/metalic. Keep in mind od looking at white wraps against snow and ice blush

    The red/silver is classic.But the lime green would look good.

    Black wraps except the tip and then either Green or Pink on the tip top. Accent the hook keeper with that color as well.

    Is that my “Q” Randy to decide? )

    I like everybody’s input and didn’t think about the white against the snow and ice maybe not being the best choice

    I like the orange guide suggestions with the lime green tip top and would think it would look good with the lime green to accent on the hook keeper

    Would this be too much of a pain by asking for 2 different wrap colors to be applied?

    Bullcans, I just hate doing diamond wraps and inlaid names – THAT is a PITA.

    So far, went with the CRB HANDLE, enlarged butt cork, American Tackle A-frame stripping guide plus 1, 2 BSFG fly single foot guides and tip. tweaked spacing for a little faster tip. Should make for a good spoon/ w5 rod

    Randy…
    When you say trim.. Do you mean the ends where the orange stops or the black area inside the hook holder?

    Sorry, some if this building is all Greek to me )

    Nice look’n diamond wraps Chris. Most people won’t know how much effort goes into making them look so nice – Great Job!!!

    BTW, I can appreciate every one of those razor blade cuts in your bench. My old wrapping base bared the same scars….There a few rods gone across your machine!!! toast
