Re: Another Green SS D-8

This one is a DPS24...just about any seat around 24mm will fit.

Probably the SS-CJBF65XH, 6-1/2 foot 30-80

Or maybe even the SS-CJBF70XH if you prefer a 7'

The center inlay is gold Sulky Hollo-Shimmer. It is a flat holographic mylar. Pretty cool stuff, it throws of little rainbow colored pinpoints of light in the sun. Because Its flat, not round like regular thread, its a little tougher to work with, especially to try to wrap with, but it makes great inlays. I use this stuff on nearly every rod lately....comes in tons of colors too.
