nicktoozoff Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi All, I have just completed another build. This one took about 4 months to complete (2 of those months were spent waiting for parts to arrive). The rod is a 6' 2pc Butt jointed jig stick rated at 10-20kg. Custom painted with pearl blue and green fleck. The Reel seat is Alps lite Tich. Gimbal and all but 1 blings bits are also Alps, the odd one being Fuji. Blue Camo Matagi EVA custom turned and shaped. Guides are also Alps low profile with blue inserts. Ab-Veener under all the guides and the split grip. Guide wraps are Pac Bay #A Nylon in black with Met Blue & Met Green trim bands. Tiger wrap is Met Blue, Met Green and Gudebrod HT Pearl with Pac Bay Nylon black over. Split grip is trimmed out with HT Pearl Olive branches. Looking forward to seeing a bend in this one. Cheers Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan.widz Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I've been watching all the rods you've been building lately and this is by far one of the best looking, the detail in the split grip is magnificant, keep up the good work mate. Cheers, Prawn Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Knot Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thats a fine looking stick - almost gets me thinking about doing it myself again. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretsch Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nice work Nick. What blank is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicktoozoff Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Nice work Nick. What blank is that? It's actually a blank I stripped down and re-built. It was, in it's previous life, a Pioneer Tuna Terror rod. Cheers Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
