Project Honeycomb

Post by rugbyfisherman » Tue Oct 27, 2015 2:42 pm

I thought I would share this project. It's been on the go for awhile. I found and purchased both frames in really rough shape. I sandblasted both down, re-sealed, primed, filled dents and painted. The Steez got a marbleized House of Kolor base with a custom mixed purple candy sprayed overtop. The TDZ 100M got a House of Kolor white base with heavy gold ghost pearls added overtop to match the gold Megabass honeycomb spool and Hedgehog accent parts.

Big thanks goes out to e_bassfisher and Maxpowers for helping with parts for the reels and Ian for working his magic in getting the internals of the reels working perfectly.
