Rainshadow Eternity 7'2" M-F blank

Those Tennessee fish better look out for Kent now!

Someone has been busy!

Very nice 

That was my favorite rod I built up on the gen 1 of that blank!  Until I sat on it... :-(

 

I've since built two of the 72MH.  One gen 1 one gen 2.  These are my absolute new favorite rods for bottom techniques.  

The craftsmanship you exhibited is stunning, and I'm sure he'll be more than thrilled with this blank.

Sweet!

Exemplary work, Gary!  Let me say that I have rarely (if ever) seen a more precise checkering job!!  Kudos to you!!  My hands cramped at the sight of the checkered rings...  I never owned a checkering jig so None of mine are that tight. 

 

And Kent, I look forward to seeing that one this summer! 

 

 

Gary- Totally off topic but who's doing decals these days?  And have they all gone to peel & stick vs. water slide? 

Keith, I buy all my decals from Golden Touch. I have no problems with this guy's decals, other than me getting them applied straight. No need to seal them or apply anything over them. Just put the epoxy on right over them.

 

peel and stick

 

lots of folks still use water slide decals, but they just give me grief. 

I have the jigs to do checkers, and still have a difficult time getting them even.

 

If only those checker boards were orange and white...

 

Beautiful rod.

Great work. Love those checkered grips.

Nice work , I need to get one of these blanks keep hearing great things on them 

Beautiful Gary!

Looks awesome I've been debating on trying some Eternities 

It's a beautiful stick that's for sure!

I was thinking of giving the ETES610MXF-SS a try.  I finesse fish most of all in northern IL and those blanks look pretty sweet!

Great work.  I hope to be even remotely close to you in craftsmanship some day.

Beautiful, if I can use that word to describe a fishing rod.  Give me ten years, or 100 builds and I still couldn't put together one that nice. 

Congrats Kent.
