Yes I made all the hardware from brass sheet, wire, and silver solder - practicing my jewelry/metal working hobby. Fun stuff!

A couple of Proof Olives here already, but it's the only green glass rod I've built. This is the first, opaque iteration of that blank. PacBay Old Gold nylon with gray trim. Spar varnish over epoxy.

Here is a fun build I did for a friend on a nice 4 wt green blank with a kind of Rasta theme.

McFarland - Seele Zeitlos - 7'9" 4wt - painted spring green by Shane (Graywolf) and finished out by me. I was going for a very clean look and wanted the rod to look like a Reed or blade of tall grass.





Green is my favorite color and a great time of year for it!

a blade of tall grass - I'd say you nailed it. Good work, Wes333. The reel seat and silver hardware really make it pop.

CTS Quartz 376 - Lime. I apologize for the picture quality. I'm not sure whether it's paint or the color itself, but it's annoyingly difficult to take a decent photo of the rod.

I'll play too. A couple of CTS rods, one an 866-4 in "Urban Green" and the other an 805-3 in "Seaweed." Following is an Orvis SFG 764-3. Edit: statement deleted. Threads on the CTS805 and Orvis 764 are different.

The CTS 866-4 (Pro Wrap "Oak Leaf" w/ "Midas Gold" trim):



CTS 805-3 "Seaweed" Pro Wrap "Taupe" (Edit: corrected) w/ "Beeswax" trim:



Orvis SFG 764-3 Pro Wrap "Desert Camo" w/ "Beeswax" Trim:
