Ok ok last ones for myself, for now...

Just finished Rainshadow RCJB84H and RCJB84XH . These will be dedicated 40/50 and 50/60 line class rigs, if I ever need them  :P . Alps Centra-lock reel seat and XN guides in titanium chrome. Seine cord rear grip with spiral under lay. Dense hypalon fore grip covered in X-shrink. Gold, white, and other misc pigments with real abalone chips mixed in make up the marble work. Black, metallic gold, and metallic gunmetal wraps. White pearl and gold mixed into the rod finish. Pain in the ass build for sure.

I thought I replied to this, but apparently never hit send.  WOW dude!  That marbling looks awesome!

You are one fine craftsmen for sure.  I'm voting you rodsmith of the year!  8)

Too fancy for me. That'd put me past my meager budget, but it's pretty sweet looking!

I could go through every post and comment how cool. but redundancy is well ... not doing justice.

Wish my life could afford that but saving up for ASU baseball dreams ...
