Awesome, love that color.

Me too! It reminded me of a Green Apple Jolly Rancher!

I've been wanting to do a frog rod in that color for some time now but I'm getting backed up with other builds and haven't had time to order it for myself. Looking good so far

My favorite Geeks color. It just looks so lickable!

That is an awesome color.  If I could I'd paint the boat white pearl and stripe it with that color.

Here's your Jolly Rancher.  8 layers of ProKote high build.

 

 

There it is. Good thing I don't own it; I'd be nibbling on it! Right gorgeous!

Dang, Lee, you're getting good at this.

looks good , why the aluminium insert between the rear grip and the butt ??

3 reasons really.

 

I bought the insert for a rod I built in Feb but did not like the way it looked on that rod, so I had one.

 

I don't like long handles that typically come on big flipping sticks and with my trigger set at 11" from the butt, I needed a little weight behind the reel seat to balance the 7-11 beast of a rod.

 

I think it looks way cool.

wow, beautiful rod!

It's easily the coolest custom built rod I have seen on BR so far.
