Spiel Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Sharing a little of what I've been up to lately and daily. Lots of rod work when I'm not cooking. These two builds showing reel seat to grip designs created by me were recently featured on CTS' FB page. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom S Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Nice. Really like that top one, beautiful grain with the matching reel seat, grip accents, and reel handles. Doesn't get any better than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He chose the wood based on the acrylic he had previously bought, Great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 There's no doubt these are very functional; but as nice as they are; for me they'd be wall hangers. Way to nice to use!!!!! Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) HMMM Where did I put that coupon ? Nice work, and the last build pic is sweet. Is there much different in the new CTS blanks then the one you built for me Chris? Kinda regretting letting mine go to the son, but I know he really likes it.

BillM Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Beauty work as always man. If I find a tip section for one of my Loomis IM6s, I'll have to send it over for some TLC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lape0019 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Not my type of rod but I can most definitely see the craftsmanship and the beauty of great workmanship. Great work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
