speck chaser, i asked him the same thing !!!!!
his answer was yas, i just completed the rod now all i need do is put his name on it whe i get it and then 3 coats of finish and she is ready to fish.
i thought it turned out pretty nice, did yall notice the one photo of the rod eye that showed the blue thread and how nice the thread layed together that my friend is hand work no machine, i use a hand made tool to smooth each wrap like that, it's kinda like each guide is custom installed if you get my drift nothing is done for me, i have total control over the results of my work, so if i mess up then it's my arss not the machine
any way thank's for the coments.
one other thing i wanted you guys to take note of, "notice how i wrap beyond " the guide instead of stopping at the bridge, there is a couple reasons for this one is of course cosmetic the other is that by doing this it makes have to epoxy beyond the bridge and this elimanates water standing and creeping under the foot of the guide.
now this is just one of many small custom feature's that you get when you have billystix custom rods build for you.
