The reel seat spacer is turned from some Hebe I had lying around, and the grip/fighting butt I turned up as full wells.
I really wanted something different in the wraps color so went bright orange to complement the line. The snake/stripper guides are from Steve and the silk from Swift. So good being able to get building supplies ex NZ, no waiting

She's a heavy beast, but the power is just awesome. With out hauling I can easily flick 70ft. with a quick double haul I run out of line.
Oh and the ferrules I built with a wall thickness of 0.04" and wrapped with A-nylon rather than silk, going for the extra strength in the ferrule.
Sorry for the photos, its night the light is crap and my lens has mould







So as you can guess I am amping to get there, bring on the bows!
Cheers
