    Lastest Build

    Built this Spiral Wrap rod for Red emperor and Coral trout fishing in mind
    This time wanted the effect of a basic wrap with just a couple of contrasting colours instead of throwing everything at it
    Its one of the new MHX Saltwater Blanks..20-60lb..
    Thought the only way to find out how theses blanks perform is to build one for myself and see how it goes along side a Phenix Black diamond 20 -60lb Blank...at the moment this is my favourite rod for the trips up North

    Thanks Mark....... on this build I am using ProKote for the first time Had issues with Diamond 2 yellowing a tad in the UV department ...so see if Prokote handles it any better ...Was good to apply had a longer pot time but also takes longer harden up
