Batson IMU66MH question

Get Bit had these on close out so I picked up a kit. I plan on using it for a saltwater jigging rod in Alaska. Have any of you built and used one of the IMU blanks? Also I am looking for suggestions as to what color to make the guide wraps as its a Titanium Chrome finish blank. Thanks for your help!

Built on quite a few - they are nice.

Most colors go nice on that blank color - but I like black the best for wraps.

Thanks - Marc

Keep it simple - that's all I can handle!

The garnet on those goes quite well, as well as a medium or dark grey

I think some of the 7' 6" XH blanks were built by the Batson clan into rods that did very well including barn door halibut.
