Really nice Gary!

Wild to mild with a whole lot in between, but here's a few.

Sabre rods wrapped in 1975. If you remember the '70s, you weren't there.

Current triple murder wrap on 90% of the long range sticks...

Thanks @SouthBayKiller and everyone else. Thanks to Tom at Fisherman's Paradise.

Studying some of the beautiful work in this thread and some of the colors and techniques with 6-8 different colors and different kinds of wraps has been an education. There is some great stuff in these pages. This old dog learned some new tricks.

Even when the knot side is close to perfect, the knot side of some of these fades seems a bit messy. I'd love to see others' knot work on the business side of the rod.

The colors below were picked for their Pro Wrap catalog names. "Chocolate" and "Cream" - They are not brown and white.

Does anybody have a RED UC BLANK build that I can have a look at ?
I'm trying to find some eye popping colors that will complement that particular color of blank.

Thanks
Gary

I just picked up this UC Viper GPX blank in Red and came on here to try and figure out that exact same thing! Let me know if you want a better pic. I just snapped these right after I got it.
