Title: La Mexicana, yet another rewrap job
Post by: steelfish on June 07, 2017, 06:03:08 PM
well, this was an job for a good friend, he's getting ready to a 8 day fishing trip and wanted to show his heritage  ;D ;D

as always some before and after pictures, no many things to say other than he wanted a rod with mexican flag colors (I know some of you that could use that too  ;) ;))and new guides better suited for braid line use  , so, just jump to check the pics

Alex,
I can't see your pics?
The one you posted the other day of the shark rig I sent Can't be seen now either.
Not sure if it is just me, but I can't see them from my work computer or my laptop at home.
