ANOTHER SPIEL CREATION

[misfish]

With this being my first custom rod,I was excited from the day I ordered it til todays pick up. I was totally impressed with Chris,s work. Get the reel on and it was a perfect match and the balance was amazing.

 

On our drive back,I have decided,I am going to get that fixed seat section, once I know where I want it.Just not yet though,I need to work some over time.LOL

 

 

Im a very happy fisherman. I,ll be on the river in the AM to give it her first trial hook up.

 

Thanks Chris, for a great rod.

 

 

PS,,,,,,,,,,Thanks for not putting that pink thread on. talk about BRIGHT

Pretty cool Chris...........I'm still thinking about that CTS blank. Thought you might have done the pink though, it would have matched his eyes!........

Chris, very nice work there. Nice and clean on the cork. Brian can you post a pic of the butt end. If you don't mind sharing, what blank was this built on, and what guides did you use?

Hi Ric, thanks for the kudos.

The blank is a 13'-6" CTS, 4-8 rating.

 

The guides were Fuji BYAG's.

 

Brian wanted a sliding ring handle that I fancied up a wee bit with two shades of brown rubberized cork at the ends with a little bit of red Amboyna burl inserted at the back end.

Looking forward to the report and your thoughts on the rod Brian.

Oh come on now,I washed my face when I got to the river,,,,,,,,,,,That woke me up.

 

I would like to add Rick.When I was doing my consultation with Chris,Mike (solopaddler was there) and they were talking so much jibberish about my rod,I said,JUST MAKE ME HAPPY. And I am.

[spinnerdoc]

Nice Brian, I didn't realize you went for the 4-8 cts....it's a sweet blank...you'll love it.

"Jibberish," I don't recall talking jibberish, are you sure you were paying attention.

[Twocoda]

Nice butt.

 

Thanks!!!

[MJL]

Still think you should've gone with pink guide wraps...Pink always attracts steelhead!

 

Great job Chris

[Harrison]

Awesome job Spiel and great shots Brian!

 

Did match the Rod colour to the Okuma raw II on purpose? That is slick!!!

 

I may have to forward some of these shot on if that is ok Brian.
