Just finished a cod rod for a customer. It's a 6'6" 6-8kg United Composite USA cut down to 6'3". I used all Matagi fittings and some Fuji titanium Sic's for the guides. The owner is a Carlton fan so I was limited to blue and white. The front wrap is the blue dragon which came out pretty nice. I used a size C white thread for the olive branch and should have twisted it more. The tiger in the butt was of a dark blue/white/saphire metallic base with dark blue top and size D discard. The metallic effect is very subtle and only really shows out under sunlight.
Regards
