<b>Profile 800 Uniglas</b> rods are finished with a gold plated tip top and stripper guide. The remaining guides are double spiral snakes. The rod blank AND ferrules are painted golden brown. The main guide wraps are a slightly darker brown with elaborate trim spirals of a darker brown still. The rod grip is a simple cigar tapering to all the way to the rod blank to allow a thread wrap from the hook keeper up onto the grip. The reelseats were either a solid reddish brown anodized downlocking seat or gold anodized cap and slip ring. The rod bag was tan with black edging and the rod tube is gold anodized aluminum with a black cap bearing the model information. In my opinion, these are the most aestetically pleasing glass rods ever made.
