Guys here is a simple build I am very happy with ,I wanted the components to stand out so I did very little thread work , The blank is a CTS Elt Mag ES565 , a very sweet Barra rod .[ See the rear grip ] and I am not telling ya .

Pretty cool!
I like the scrimshaw work on the grip.
Never seen it done on hypalon before, but it works well.

The whole world's mad save thee & me (but I'm not too sure about thee)
that is so cool. that rear grip came up a treat.
very very nice
Nice neat build trout!
Super classy looking rod. What size are the smallest guides...they look pretty big...8s ?
Cheers Ian
Hi there trouthead nice rod and as Owen has mentioned nice scimshaw ,so was this done with a dremaule or how did you do this if its not to much to ask.
Ok , seems you are not a bad bunch of guys , I will tell you , after a lot of snooping around I found a place that doe's Laser etching , that is how it is done , now don't go telling every one now .
Thanks for that trouthead, i would not have guessed that,i think you have thought of a very nice touch to put on the rear grip or even your foregrip.
Some thing like this for foregrip jig and popping rods .Attachment 71520
hi trouthead the attachment is invalid it says ,by the way what did the blank cost.
