hola amigos, if you are fan of Deadpool movies you might recognize where the tittle came from, if not, well thats how deadpool tried to say his name in spanish in the 1st movie (not a correct translation by the way but sound so funny when you heard it the 1st time), anyway, this is my lastest rod, a CALSTAR GF760H (graphiter) 80-130 a big gun for the big boys, since its for my personal use this time I tried some new techniques (for me) that I have seen on the rods made by the professionals, like some Olive branch wrap and photo wrap (all around the blank), for being the 1st time on both techiques I think it looks pretty good, if you look closely you can find some small mistakes (specially on the backside) I could have made better but, ooh well, sometimes you only see them while looking a close up pic on your screen, I might get a maginifying lens for this kind of wraps, tho.
I made the rod with some accesories I have on hand, a real Mako tooth epoxied on the ramp, the 1st guide is a fuji HB 25 SiN and the rest are ALPS XHN size 10 on acid wrap or spiral wrap, shrink wrap grips are a HD version a good friend sent me few months ago, I made some molding on the hypalon grips and put the shrink grips on it, Pacbay channel lock reelseat and PacBay Sic tiptop.

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Nice work Alex  You have reached terrific work.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

A lot of nice detail work there, well done! The olive branch looks great and I love spiral wraps.
