Definitely need some pink in the rod whether it is a ribbon or the rod guide wraps. Maybe have all of the writing in Pink?

If you can somehow get the pink ribbon on the shaft it would be great. Def. Pink/silver in the wraps. Some of that pink/purple wood I gave you for the reel seat would make it pop.

i don't know how you did the grip on the one fly donation rod, but what about a "ribbon" on the handle like you did the "O" on that donated rod... Save the TaTas is always popular, but i dont know how you'd incorporate that into the rod

A motivational saying of sorts might be nice... Something like "I prevailed....Fish won't"

how about putting a pink thread wraps at the tip top?
if this is going to a woman you might make the grip a bit smaller in dia.

Good ideas all
The rod might go to a woman or it might just go to the highest bidder at one of thew many fund raisers they have so I need to keep it Gender Neutral....
Thats where I need some input
Thanks for all the ideas so far

why not a nice decal with the breast cancer ribbon on it? A hand inscription in pink ink with rod details on one side, with the ribbon on the top?
Thanks
Rick

Welll, Skipper you could make the grip and then incise it with a razor blade and the glue the craft foam into it.

Skip just let your feminine side take over. I am sure you will know what to do... Sounds like a really nice thing you are doing. Think pink!!!

I think a ribbon with your signature of authenticity by Skip would be great
