Finished rod build (Another LSU) 11/14/10

Bubba_Bruiser · 11-14-10, 03:57 PM

I finally finished up another rod for a guy I work with. It is another LSU themed rod, but I used a little different color thread and wrapped the tiger a little tighter together to get a little more striping effect. The blank is a Netcraft 6' MH-F, Fuji seat, 6" cork handle, and Berkley guides. I am not a big fan of the guides, but the guy want to keep the cost down and the customer is always right. I know some of my old Lightning rods have these eyes, and they are subject to pop out. The pictures of the guides look like bubble galore, but it is not. It is fuzz where I wiped it with a paper towel. I did plagiarized Waffle a little bit and did my decal and the owner's name in ghost in the tiger wrap. I tell you what fellas, this is an awesome addiction to have for the way I work. As always, thanks to my buds JRob and Waffle. I appreciate y'alls help. Now it is time to work on a themed TN Vols, local high school rod and another worm rod like the black/gold one I built last month.

Looks great Curado! You put a lot more time in that thing than I would ever be able to, I tend to have a short attention span lol.

Thanks Revo, my wife says the same thing about time consumption hahahaha. With a CURADO, it balanced out between the reel hood and the foregrip. I think it is going to make a mean spinnerbait chunker.

I really like the trim bands as well..It tames the tiger nicely on a buttwrap and you executed it awesomely (that is a word)

Great work Bubster!
