Latest custom Spinning Rods! - pic hvy

Post by savacs » Sat Mar 01, 2014 4:56 pm

This was an interesting project for someone in Spain. I had freehand to make this build with jut a few guidelines.

The blank is a TR Super Lesson Eight H from Matagi, Maziora Andromeda painted parts, EVA grips, with "fancy" winding checks :).
It's all Fuji Titanium SiC guides, combination of Y and K's ( I prefer them over the ultra new Fuji Guide Concept ).
This is another camp theme, on a Phenix K2, TX-736H-C, built with Matagi parts and Fuji SiC Guides.

The second project is a full G.Loomis Rebuild. It's a GL3 HSR9000S Mag Light, Ex-Fast Action, 7'6", 6-12lb, 1/4-1/2oz.
Rebuild with a KSKSS16 reel seat painted in Matte Black, Vintage Red painted carbon tube, Fuji KR TiSiC Guides Concept.

This third one is for a French friend that lives in Romania, in the Danube Delta for, I believe more than 20 years, who organizes fishing trips, and owns a string of lakes filled with big pike and carp.

You got mad skills. Those sticks look like they should be in an art exhibit.

Holy crap. I've never had a custom and am a plain jane standard rod type guy, but those might be the most beautiful rods I have laid eyes on. The workmanship impresses me the most. Well done Sir.

Stunning builds. My wallet is happy that I don't live nearer you; those don't look overly affordable.
