Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 This is a titanium colored Bingham 9ft 5wt 4pc fast action blank for a customer here on FTF that wanted a rod done in some smallmouth bass colors. Wraps are medium brown no CP with dark green trim, and then two turns of metallic bronze so the trio of colors gives a nice smallmouth bass coloration look to the wraps. Grip is all burl/exotic corks and a nice tasteful custom wood seat insert set in nickle silver BUL5 hardware. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
