Rod build #3 "Splash of color"

Featured Replies

Here's my latest.Jazzed her up with a little color.The blue guides along with silver metalic accents with Royal Blue main wraps should be a real looker. In fact thats what I'm gonna call it."Reel Looker" ;D I eliminated the cork around the reel seat to see how much of difference there is in detecting the bite.

I just checked out the reel you suggested.It would look killer with the rod.

Very, very nice!  Love the colors and layout.  Let us know how it does.

Hey, that reel looks awfully familiar!  *Looks over at daiwa spitfire 2000A*  How do you like that reel?  I like that pole!  It's dead sexy!  I want to do something like that, but in royal red!  :D  Maybe crimson red!  What did you use for the blue on the handle?

Oh, and sorry for bringing this back from the dead...  Just thought it was neat!
