Here a recent finished rod of a CTS 480 in a clear wrap with red and black accents.
insert is made of very nice Katalox also named as Royal Mexican Ebony. Hardware I made it from Nickel silver. Stripping guide is from Joe Arguello and the colour red is super.

Hope you like it

Nico

Simply gorgeous, and there's a little bit of New Zealand there.

Cheers, Dick

Beautiful! The red ring and accents really stand out. The reel seat is excellent.

Do not recall ever seeing a Katalox wood reel seat insert previously. Attractive looking on this build. Well done.

I'm usually not that fond of white blanks, but that build is magnificent. Dang nice.
