Looks really nice, I really like the tiger wrap.

Any reason why you didn't spiral? To me it seems like a perfect rod to spiral.

really nice looking rod, tell you took a lot of pain with it

 

[BustinBass197]

That is awesome! Do you do all types of rod work? I have an all-star that needs a guide replaced. Could you do it? How much might it cost?

 

[FlameKeeper]

Here is #2 spinning on the drier as I type, Tiger looks as good ,maybe better than the first, but each one is different. Be putting the finishing touchs on them soon.


Thanks for the comments guys,,

F A ; I had to special order the guides from ATC. 128.set+shipping WHEW!!!

emoSorry Havn't done any repairs ( yet ) But thanks for the comment and the thought.

One of these 2 gentlemen ( Fat Albert- Puddle Jumper ) should be able to take care of the problem, and do a super fine job for ya,emoThumbsup ,better than that they might know someone that is closer to you than they are.

Thanks Kenny.

These are the butt-caps for them .Paul is a Iraq vet, and these silver eagle heads came from a 70's veitnam medallion I had, I took a dremel and cut them out and installed them, Bothwill be orange to match the rods.
