UPDATE TO GIVEAWAY -

A scammer made a mirror copy of my page with 0 likes or followers. The scammer went onto the giveaway list and posted links asking for credit card info to prove your identity.

This was not me. I will never ask for credit card information. The giveaway is 100% paid for by me.

If you put your card number in, I’d recommend getting a new card number quickly as that was a scammer.

I’ve reported the account to Facebook, blocked the account, and recommend y’all do the same if you were affected.

I sincerely apologize for the havoc that was wreaked in a 4 hour window before I was able to stop the scammer.

The giveaway will take place on the 31st as originally said. I’ll DM the winner and post the results of the drawing in a stand-alone post on here.

Y’all rock. Thank you for following and being interested in my rods. I am so extremely sorry if you were affected by a scammer.

Update to the work in progress below!

I’ve spent more time on this than any other wrap, and it’s still a work in progress! The ends of the wrap won’t be white, but I couldn’t wait to post this one.

Inspired by tarpon skying out of the water, this wrap brings it all together. It combines the with blue-green ocean water, the gold and silver flash of the scales, and the light red-orange hues of that hot southern sun. From a distance, it shines and reflects beautiful. Up close, you can see the amount of work that went into making this wrap stand out from any other wrap you’ve seen.

Sometimes the finished project pictures don’t do justice to the work that goes into making sure the decorative wrap comes out well. this wrap is only about 50% of the way done. There’s a lot of work that goes into ensuring that the wrap will look uniform and clean in the end!
