Rods By Chris

Finished another one

New one started...holothreaf under purple, neon blue and teal for trim

Finishing another one up.

My latest creation. An MHX magbass MB904 7-06 heavy action. Works great for popping corks, and jig heads with soft plastics. Even works well with some live bait free lining. The guides are ALPS NX series wrapped in an acid wrap pattern. For grips i used mudhole's carbon color series, they came out a little more slick than i would have hoped. Their standard carbon is much less slick and tends to hold better in the hand. The reel seat is a painted graphite fuji split seat. I presently am running a 200 series shimano curado e, but it needs one size bigger reel to really balance it out.

The new one for a friend

My latest work is drying as we speak. It is an MHX SJ9000 blank, medium light power 7 foot 6 inch blank. Wrapped up with REC Recoil titanium guides. The guides can bend and not break. The grips are done up in carbon fiber for less hand fatigue and better grip, and the reel seat is a standard Fuji seat. Hope you enjoy it Wendel

And for the next little my new to me sage rplx ii 11 weight fly rod

Numbers 1 and 2 were kinf of special projects, they were fly blanks that were finished as spinning rods. We used some airwave guides and they came out really nice. Pictures with the new owner shortly.

I've been busy this week. 5 rods to do. They come in waves. Here is the third one done. Did some marbling on it.

We got a special rod for a celebrity fixing to go on the rollers for a first in a while build. Moving, and some changes at work have taken much of my time. I'll provide more details as it comes along.
