Looks real pretty. That red band just above the grip isn't the 20 inch mark, surely? Did you put on more than one? That one in the picture would only be about 12-13 inches or so, no?

That is about 12 inches only. From what I have heard that is would be his "BIG" fish mark
Since Craig wanted a clean look I put the R.L. Winston label at 20" with no wraps at all.
