Blank is a Rainshadow 6062-4. Reel seat is a really cool looking piece I got from Ron awhile back, not sure exactly what it is though. All exotic cork grip with dark mix/brown burl/burnt and rubberized with black accent trim pieces. Pacbay minima guides, Garnet thread without CP and metallic silver trim.
That should be a fun little rod, the seat looks like yucca to me, but what do I know?
Actually its Cholla cactus that was cast into an acrylic resin.
At least I was in the right part of the garden.
Nice build!
That is the nicest looking rod that I have ever seen put out. That color scheme is just perfect for that blank. Nice job! You have a lucky customer.

That’s a sharp looking rod for sure.
Very nice … Now I’m sorry I didn’t send you a Cholla Cactus skeleton filled with Black Resin to go better with that build.
I think you did, just kinda waiting to turn it and use it for myself. Ya know, mine,mine,mine. Wait till you see it on one of the new black nickle Lemke reel seats that I sell on an RX7 for myself.
Geeezzz …my brain is fogging <LOL>
I remember sending you two blanks my namesake … but I don’t remember sending Steve any. And now this reminds me I have a package to send to South Africa with a couple of these. I need to buy more skeletons and get back to casting … have a couple other ideas floating around my noggin to try and cast with resin that I think will be different but cool looking.
That’s a great lookin’ rod! Really like the spiral wraps. Nice work
Cholla?? How do you do that? I spent ten years in the Sonoran Desert and couldn’t find one good thing about Cholla and now I have… I’d be interested in either learning how to do that or finding a source for reel seats with it. Now, Saguaro, does anyone do that?
I’m the one who does this. I cast it in either Clear Polyester Resin or Alumilite.
What are you looking for?
I just sent you a PM with some details… thanks, Bob
