My good friend just built me a very nice custom rod. Heavy, with fast tip. Have yet to try it out yet, but in very stoked about it.  I also had him put a loop on the foregrip so i can attach a leash when kayaking.





Im really diggin the wrap job, and the fact that its one of a kind customized to my fishing style, makes it more special.  I lost my fishing partner few years ago, who was also my best friend.  Cancer sucks, so this rod was kindda like a tribute to him, with the special color (periwinkle)  as a reminder and the color for gastric cancer awareness.

Im not sure how ncka feels about posting links or advertising, so if anyone wants something custom made, you can pm me and ill refer you to my rod builder buddy.

Awesome looking rod! great idea with the front loop.
May it serve you well.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I've always loved a good turks head to finish off a cord or cork wrap.  Posting a link wouldn't hurt my feelings.....just saying :)

Dude that is so cool. Not just the rod, but also the sentiment. I have no doubt you'll catch many new PBs with that rod. Also, it seems appropriate to post a link if you have more info about the person/company that built this custom rod!

Wow! That is an absolutely stunning rod! I'm sorry you lost a friend to cancer. It's just awful. This seems like an excellent tribute though and the memory of your friend will live on.

It's a fine piece of craftsmanship. Be proud!

Also just picked up a custom bamboo gaff. I now finally have a decent gaff.  This one is very similar to the one khanh customs donated for the gsx raffle.   Let me know if you'd like something like this made for you.
