Being color blind I cannot tell the wrap color. Any ideas ?
The blank too.



Thanks kindly in advance - Brian

Looks like chestnut and antique gold with a little burgundy? Color locked.

I have the 4wt version of your 5wt. I would agree with the burgundy main wrap. Not sure of the trim color, but is definitely yellowish. The blank, I believe is of Lamiglas origin, one of those proprietary colors.

Grip style on the 8ft 5wt :



Mixed in with some others...



On a side note - The action is soft thru to the butt... full flex.

I have 2 of these, identical to yours.
One is an 8’ 5wt & the other a 7.5’ 4wt.
Same color scheme.
Agree with chestnut and antique gold with burgundy.
Spanish cedar reel seat, IIRC.
Sweeeeet full flex action.
His own tapers made by Lamiglass is my understanding.
