12' 1pc Rabbito's special

Postby nicktoozoff » Wed Aug 03, 2011 7:06 pm

Hi All,

I've been a bit busy lately with builds for various friends. Here is the latest to leave the stable.
Blank: Pacific Composties 12' 1pc MT6144
Components: Fuji dlx reel seat, Fuji black Alconite MN guides
EVA grips.

The rod is built for an Alvey setup, hence the open runner above the fore grip. Green wraps with hints of red & white trim bands, and a metallic red, green and pearl white tiger wrap above the fore grip. The owner was happy with the build, so that makes it all worth while.

Thanks for looking.

Nick.

It's got me thinking about getting a Freo Dockers rod made up one day. Maybe in 2050 when we make the Grand final.
Nice rod Nick, is it Graphite?
Cheers

Could you kick it around the workshop before you get it to him, maybe a NSW Blues logo on it as well?
