This one was again made for a member of the Pike Fly Fishing Association. Started using bog standard Fuji FPS reel seats as the ones i had been using (British carbon with metal fittings) where losing there paint. Not chuffed at all! Did a mini fighting butt on this one by turning down corks on a home made lath.
Anyway, black blank with navy thread tipped with silver. Something nice about black and blue..seems to work well.
Next one is a "stealth" version with fuji concept rings..should be interesting to see the difference in distance that fuji promise.
