You can't go wrong with black & gold I reckon.
Right back to the John Player F1 cars it's always been classy.
I like the reversed bling on the seat too

Very sweet!

well done Trout Head , not easy doing high gloss on matt fished rods. very hard to keep your lines straight between the runner feet.

nothing like a bit of rod porn before bed time black and gold just classic
like owen said love the reverse winding checks was thinking of putting up my first rod build on here but you guys just make it so hard to share with the quality that just keeps coming
