Ron Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hey all, A while back, I had Spiel revive my IMX float rod. My style of fishing has changed and the handle needed to be retrofitted to accommodate a centerpin reel and position on rod. I was contemplating on just having a new rod blank built but with the research I did, I decided to just have the IMX rebuilt. Boy, I am glad I did! Here are some pics of the rod complete. As for cost, I got the price down to about $1.10 per fish. Not bad considering I didn't get the rod until some time in March! I liked the build so much, I am getting another one built, so is a buddy of mine. These ones will be on 11.5 Rainshadows. Got a few teaser pics of them too.First, my buddies.Now mineCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 thanks for the comments. I can only take credit for the purchase though. The workmanship and quality is all Spiel. I am just glad I can own some of his fine work. Cheers, Ron... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I know how you feel I have a few rods he has made me over the years and just about had a heart attack when a friend offered to help me put them in the truck. He opened the door and had 4 of them leaning between the open door and the inside of the truck. If the door had closed all 4 would have been destroyed. I am happy to report nothing happened and my fishing buddy is still alive.lol Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
