Off Topic - This is pretty neat
« on: June 09, 2017, 02:38:49 PM »
Every once in a while I will get a request for a "themed" rod. This customer had been planning this build with for a a very long time now and today I finally finished it and have hos dream rod ready for him. It is a Star Wars themed rod with quite a bit of attention to detail and the futuristic look to it to say the least. From the thread wraps on the carbon fiber grip sealed under three coats of clear to the epoxy thread ramp to give a seamless transition from grip to blank, to the green marbling under the custom decals to the custom made rod sock no part of this build was overlooked on details.
