Look out... jmairey has a new weapon!

Here's a pic of jmairey's new weapon.  Looks like he plans to execute on all of the planning he did this year.  This is a Rainshadow SW967F blank that has been built to his specifications.  The blank is a very versatile rod.  rated for 14-25# line and 3/4 - 4 oz lures and even though it has a fairly stiff tip and good power in the butt, it has a parabolic / moderate action perfect for fishing spectra line. 

- Extended to 8'3" overall length,
- extra large foregrip to make the rod float when fitted with an Abu 6500 reel,
- acid wrapped,
- Fuji solid titanium framed SiC guides 100% corrosion proof and extremely light weight.
- Fuji palm support reel seat with holes for rod leash and hook keeper.
- Ferrule alignment marks for quick and accurate assembly.
- Topped off with an NCKA scull and crossbones logo.
- Black and gunmetal metallic highlights... stealthy.

I'll be in the mail on Saturday so you and it can stare at eachother for the rest of the winter.

I'm wetting my pants--That thing is frickin beautiful man. Does she have a sister. Nice job Erik, that logo is tight.

Does she have a sister.

Yes..several.  Lucky enough to own one, its a beauty and works like a champ.

Now that's a thing of beauty!!!

Awesome work Erik!! I will be filling up my quiver of rods soon enough, so I'll be in touch. It'll be nice to graduate from the Big 5 club ... is that ghetto or what!?

 sweet!   

Nice job on the extended foregrip for flotation.......eliminates any need or plans for filling the blank with expanding foam 

how much is that puppy my Bday is coming
need a new rod would like mine in green

to sweet 

art, it's great all over, but I especially like the guides, check the tiptop (no spectra wraps while jigging).

I think erik had to dress up ninja style, fly to japan, sneak into the fuji factory for those!

this is a rod worth of fishing off your boat with art, when are we going?

Well... not quite... but I spent enough time and effort the first time that I ordered from that Japanese website that I might as well have flown there and did the ninja routine.  Then I discovered Google Translator... ta daa!

The tip top in solid titanium isn't available in the states... only from a couple of Japanese sources.  Nice stuff.

Wow!. I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm looking at as far as the technicals go, but I do know that is one beautifully crafted piece of art. Nice job Erik.

2 pieces?

Yep...

this is what I want mine to look like
but I am thinking one piece 

Nice pole jmairey!   

Erik is this pole considered an all around Bay/Ocean Rod.  ie Salmon/Sturgeon/Halibut/Stripers/ etc.  I've been considering replacing my seeker rod with a custom.
