Starting the guide wrap.



















Dropping in the glue for the tip top.








Here is a comparison of a factory rod handle side by side with our custom handle. This is on a high quality rod that retails for about $150. Obviously the design element is different but what really stands out is the quality of the cork. Notice the excessive pitts in the factort rod. This is the lowest grade of cork we use on any of our rods.

The raffle winners rod build begins!!!!!

We are now getting started on the lucky winners rod. He wants a 7' spinning rod to cover a range of techniques. We selected a fast action 1 piece blank with a matte slate finish. It is rated for 8-15# line and 3/16 - 5/8 lure weights. We are utilizing titanium frame guides in the new guide concept arrangement. This rod is going to light and sensative! We selected a nice green for the main wrap and will be using a combination of metallic silver and gunmetal trim threads. The reel seat has TiCH hoods and a light weight, high tech looking carbon weave insert. The handle will be a combination of natural cork and burnt burl cork with a rubberized cork end for durability. The rear grip will be 10" long and the fore grip 3.5". The bottom photo shows the pile of parts. The next shows the reel seat all glued up and ready for mounting. The top photo shows the handles all glued up and ready for turning. That's all for today. Check back later and you can see the handle take shape and get mounted on the rod.
