Another ROD for the pistol grip


Here is another rod for the pistol grip handle.

A St Croix SC3 extra fast rated at 4-10lb. The blank was shorten to make the overall length of 6'3" for this complete setup.



The aluminum ferrule is custom made to fit the blank.




Test fitting the blank to the handle.




The ferrule part was kinda plain so I decide to put a short length of weaving to it. Just plain silver and black thread weaving to create a slight bling at the joint right after the decal.




After several coating of epoxy and you will be able to see the effect of the silver thread.




The rod was fitted with Fuji Alconite micro guides.




The wrapping was coated with a thin layer of epoxy to minimize the overall weight of the rod.





Here are the extra sets of aluminium ferrules for another rod to be pimped.



This is one of the rods which is on the dryer.
