Custom rod for kid.

Post by MardukFIN » Fri Mar 04, 2016 10:18 pm

I've built this kind of rod for my son. He had 5th birthday 17.2.2016. I asked him, what kind of rod he wants? He said: "-Green!"
So be it! :o
Blank is CRB IM6 1,5oz, 6'6". American Tackle Microwave guides. Made fore and middle grip myself. Rear grip is original from Mudhole.

Very cool. Green is my 5 year-old boy's favorite color. I'm getting ready to have a rod done for my 7 year-old boy. His has to be blue. Your rod might make them both happy. I think his will be a medium light 6' to 6'3". I hope it doesn't end up in the bottom of the lake like his Spider Man combo. ](*,)
