Just wrapped up another build, this time on the Amarillo 7' 3 weight blank from Proof Fly Fishing.

Went with black hardware on this one, translucent wraps with a black inlay, stacked bamboo reel seat insert, and a Ritz grip.

Great looking rod. Really like the way you did the black trim rings. Matt Draft is a great guy to work with and I can attest to his quality components.

Nice. How many turns of black did you use on trim bands?

3 turns on the trim bands. I tried single turns, but they just didn't look right to me.

Nice work! I really like the black hardware with the yellow blank. Hows the action?
