Its on the drying rack. Will get pics tomorrow when its dry. Customer had three professions. He was a Chaplin in the Army Reserves, full time Police Officer, and, our Preacher. A little of each profession is represented in the Rod.

Just started a frog Rod and after that I have a few lures to paint for someone & some leather work to finish. Should be taking orders about mid April. Lol. I might need to cut back on multiple trades.13 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

We are looking for a few custom built spinning rods . Though Im very picky about the action. When I do purchace which is not often. Im likely to play with several of the same rod checking tip action. Need to visit your store sometime and check wat you have. My perch rods I have know Ive had many yrs. Though eyes have been replaced and etc. And the crazy part is the plastic is on most of the handles. Your custom job looks great. Ive watched my father ln law fix, repair and build rods. Though these days the eyes just not wat they used to be2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury

Yeah that is one downside to picking a blank online to build from. But the good thing is the quality of the blanks to choose from are very nice. Posted via TapaTalk for iPhone613 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods

My deal is the weight. I have Loomis gl3 rods and Ive been looking to add a few more, some of mine have broken, some are just worn slap out. The rods I have seem to be lighter than other rods Ive used and more sensitive I assume due to weight as well.Purchased new 5/4/15Bass Cat Sabre Vision EliteMercury Pro XS 150MotorGuide 75lb Tour EditionHumminbird – Stock (will be changing soon I hope)

Well even a heavier Rod, if balanced properly, will feel lighter in your hand. Thats a key. But knowing what reel is going to be on the Rod is a must. Posted via TapaTalk for iPhone613 PIV w/ 200 MercIG: WarriorRiverCustomRods
