Blue Halo so blue

Got a request, can you make this rod clean, simple, only cork and with a sliding ring/band.

This 8’ 6wt Blue Halo is finished with blued brass hardware and the butt made of dark grey Mirarta. I also blued the Mildrum stripping guide what fits good with the blued Universal Snake Brand guides. I used Kimono silk colour Monsoon and Lime Ricci as signature wrapping.
