Wanted to share this

[Steve]

I know some of you guys like Tony and Stan and I'm sure others on here are also big fisherman like myself so wanted to share this one here with you guys. As some of you know I run my own business building custom rods for a living. Lately I have been wanting to build just an absolutely insanely modified fly rod that would test my skills with all sorts of tricks and extras on it. Pretty much build with excess for no other reason than because I wanted too lol. So in between customer rods I've been building this fly rod. Everything on it is all hand turned and custom made, I hand made the grip with various 1/2" cork rings and blue foam accent rings (craft foam) then did 11 coats of polyurethane with each coat hand smoothed and buffed between the next coat. All the colors you see on the rod, the blue, silver, black is all wrapped thread with finish over it. used a piece of hand turned Lacewood for the reel seat, pretty much just wanted to build a show piece of a rod. So this is what I ended up with.

Absolutely magnificient !!!!!!!! i would give my right nut for a rod like that....but then i would probably just give it away as a gift to someone that is as much a lover of fishing gear as i am but a whole lot younger.....lol

[Steve]

Thanks guys appreciate it

[Stan M.]

Not going to give my left nut. But was the price on this sweet rod?

[Steve]

Honestly Stan, very underpriced. $145. That's about $105 less than I normally get for this type, but I'm so backed up now with rods I've just been stickin them out there for big discounts since it's the end of the year.
