Ok more rod questions, decided on a Rainshadow RX8 blank, its Titanium Chrome in color, what color guide wraps/trim? Doing TICH guides and hood on reel seat.

I have built two of the rx8 blanks, one spinning and one casting. I used a scarlet red wrap with silver trim on each side of the wrap..Looks killer....
+1 on the scarlet and silver. I have done one like that and is the best looking rod i've built.
Thanks guys, I like the scarlet/silver idea. Leaning towards that or Black with gray or silver trim.

I think grey trim would disappear some. I'd go silver.
So I ended up with silver trim and garnet wraps, think it turned out pretty decently.

Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
Once the water is soft again, Ill let everyone know how the micros work on the spinning rod. Thanks guys.
