There is lots of nice work there.In fact would be more apropriate to call it an art form.:icon_cool::icon_cool:
I explored the possibility of building my own rod .I found with the ready availability of pretty high quality, reasonable rods on the market, it would not be cost effective to build my own.
The highly competitive panfish rod market has pushed technoligy to the point that I no longer hope for a reasonable priced quality rod. I DEMAND it. (and I get it) :party0045::party0011::party0045::party0011: lol Mike

Agree with Mike.

If I had the means to obtain a creation such as this, I would put it in safe some place, let alone fish with it. I fish hard and rugged. To distroy a piece of art such as this would be a shame.
