I have to agree with NewTyer. Very unique rod.

Definitely over the top,space age,love it

If you could find a jade encrusted reel, that would be awesome or, paint a reel, jade colored. Way to cool

Not my personal taste, but pretty cool looking! I love the reel seat.

Thanks for the nice words, I appreciate it. I told the customer about Allen having green anodized reels for a reasonable cost and he was going to look into that. Something the Green Lantern or Kermit might fish.
