[Mannie]

Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to hook into a beast with my "new" rod.

Thanks Craig, now I wanna go fish. BRILLIANT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that marbling on the guides look awesome! Not the easiest place to do it. I like how you always inovate new ideas like the xflock at the joints.

 

[SUNSHINE]

That is THE sexiest rod I have ever seen. Would love to have a 7ft spinning rod with those finishes.

It is done before the guide is placed and binding is done. There is a video on Youtube showing how to do it. Very good!

It adds a lot to the finish of the rod! Brilliant!

Once again - great job.
